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"

"your administrator has restricted your ability to change this setting"

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.

It also allows IT depts to deploy thin clients for a fraction of the cost of a full desktop (along with the crap performance for actual multitasking).

It is the default, but some IT people decide to set shit up a particular way that makes things stupid, and some even lock those settings for some dumbass reason..

You're the only one who talked about if it makes sense or not, calm down and go for a walk

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!

Apple lets you do this with ebooks, then you turn off iCloud sync thinking it’ll just keep all the local copies you just individually downloaded…

nah deletes ‘em all
