It took me many hours to figure out how to configure OneDrive to keep my files on my hard drive and copy them to the Cloud.

The two key elements are - 1. Select the check the checkbox for Files on Demand and 2. Right click on the OneDrive folder and Select Always Keep on this Drive. #1 Needs a better explanation and #2 is poorly documented - I spent days looking a posts before I found that one.

Files on Demand check box is misleading - it gives you the impression that the files are only stored in the Cloud (not on the hard drive). Either add a note by the check box to remind the user to right click to Always keep files on this hard drive or better yet, change the label of the check box to read Files Stored in the cloud and a second check box All files kept on this drive (Right click on a directory or a file to exclude it.

Thank you
