Solid green means keep a copy on device but sync to cloud. Clear tick means delete from device if unused for a certain period of time in order to save space.

'solid green' files always remain on your device, while 'light green' files are stored temporarily until they are removed from your local disk and become cloud-only. In other words, if you don’t use a document or file(light green) for a certain period, 'Storage Sense' will remove the local copy to free up space.

Your content is always top-notch. I really enjoy your videos. I'm wondering if you could possibly cover syncing errors in a future video? I encounter them frequently and they're causing a lot of issues. For instance, I often run into problems like failed spreadsheet updates, unsuccessful downloads, overwhelming recovery files, Outlook sync failures, blocked uploads, and general sync and save issues. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to protect some files by making them read-only, including to myself. This means I won't be able to accidentally modify them, and the file date won't change when I open them

I wish I understood all of this. As an older person I did not grow up with computer technology and I get in a mess when I try to follow these instructions. I finally synced photos on my android phone to my android tablet. Now I want to delete those photos on phone to free up space, but will this delete those photos on my tablet? 😮

How did you sync the photos from you phone to the tablet? 😊

Honestly, I have no idea. Deleted and reinstalled OneDrive on my phone, which didn't seem to work, and then a day or so later, it did. However, still not synced to my desktop, only android tablet. All very confusing.

I've been using OneDrive for like forever but I still don't fully understand the light green tick. I know the dark green one is like a forced 'always keep a copy on my computer', and the light green one is when you've basically tried to open it by either double-clicking on it or opening it in an application. I also know the light green tick is linked to *Storage Sense*. If this is turned on and the drive is set to some sort of cleanup routine, the light green tick files will be cleared from the drive and become online only (cloud icon) either due to the drive getting too full or after a certain period of time if that's been set. It's Storage Sense that decides when a light green tick reverts to a blue cloud. Any other services/situations that might force a light green ticked file to online only? Any other functional differences between the two types of ticks?
@sammansfield67213 ай бұрын
I think you've understood this correctly. Files On Demand means that when you open a doc it downloads it locally (green tick in white circle). Without storage sense, that document would stay locally available as well as in the cloud. But storage sense can be configured to clean these up after a period of time. However, if you have storage sense configured to clean up, but you have chosen to right-click>always keep on this device (white tick in green circle) on certain folders/files, storage sense will leave these alone. They stay local unless you right-click>free up space.

OneDrive screwed us, I work at a university and had 5tb of storage which got rolled back to 100gb, over night without warning.

And this is why I backup all cloud data to on-prem server for my clients…. That sucks for a university to lose that much data.
