I love my jobs implementation of onedrive. It copies files from my hardrive, erases the local copy, and then loses the remote version.

    Just activate the option to keep a local copy, right click the folder your files are in and choose "keep local copy"

    You say this like it makes sense that this functionality isn't the default. Why the fuck does that make sense to you?!

    The idea is that you can have more data online than you can fit on your computer.

    It makes sense for SharePoint when there can easily be enough data to cause space problems on employee computers.

    It doesn’t really make sense for it to be the default for personal OneDrives though.

    Thanks! It was "Always keep on this device" but I didn't know that was an option. I was able to fully download a folder where individual items could not be retrieved. Awesome!
