    Mmmh, I wonder if Everything updating file lists could be the cause… Does Win delay "online only" in case the file is just read from NTFS without being loaded? Or an antivirus pass will delay it?

    I wouldn't think so for Everything since it's just a search tool.

    It should instantly download an online-only file to your OneDrive folder when opened if currently connected to the Internet to have it available locally. Depending on how large the file is, it may take a moment to finish downloading though.

    Well, IMHO this function is broken and doesn't work (Win10 1903).
    Opened a TXT two days ago from OneDrive when it was online-only, now it has a green thick after 2 days have passed...

    Storage Sensor is set every week, but OneDrive 1 day only. Maybe this is the problem?

    EDIT:
    Clean now button worked and set the file Online-Only... hence it's probably just a design (and UI) incoherent issue, because nothing warns you that you have to set global Storage Sensor equal or lower than OneDrive's timeout setting...
    As it is now they seem to be independent options and/or is not that clear the OneDrive cleanup will be actually started ONLY at global Storage Sensor timeout.

    Does anyone know if this works with Server 2019 1809 (build 17763.737)?

    I will be installing OneDrive which is supported along with Files On Demand as well in an RDSH environment.

    Hello icebun007, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    Yes it should according to this MS article below.

    Hi Brink,

    Thanks for the link and I am indeed using FSLogix for profile management.

    I am all good with Files On Demand but it is Storage Sense which seems to be the key to ensure all OneDrive content is cloud only.

    I saw the article relating to how storage sense can force all OneDrive content to be online but this seems to be Windows 10 only.

    Is that the case?

    I don't have Windows Server 2019 to verify, but either way you can turn off or set Storage Sense how you want for OneDrive.

    Seriously: it's not working as expected.

    Windows 10 1909 here and latest OneDrive with on-demand ON, Storage sense ON and set to check every day for space and for OneDrive. The result is I still have many big accessed files locally saved after 2 weeks since I downloaded them, if I browse through my OneDrive.
    I expected them to be "unloaded" and go back to online-only.
