In order to download the actual file, you needed to click twice on the placeholder file to open it in the relevant app. However, Microsoft decided to remove this feature since many people were not aware of the fact that placeholder files were not the real deal, but simply thumbnails. Placeholders didn’t take a lot of local storage and they helped users to get access to data easily and without affecting local drive storage. These are not actual files and only have a thumbnail and metadata about the real file that is in the cloud. Originally in Windows 8, Microsoft had implemented “placeholder”, an option that allowed OneDrive users to represent a file in OneDrive, with a small test file on the local drive. Changes in Windows 10īefore we take a look at what you can do to get easy access to OneDrive in Windows 10, we will discuss the main changes. However, there is something that you can do to make things simple. However, if you choose OneDrive, the process can get a bit complicated, given that now, OneDrive doesn’t have a standalone interface.
If you try to save a file, you will be able to choose if you want to save it to your hard drive or to OneDrive. Even if it is not as visible as it was before, it is still there. One of the new options introduced in Windows is the fact that the OneDrive app was removed and instead, Microsoft implemented its cloud solution in the background. With Windows 10, Microsoft addressed many of the issues that affected Windows 8.1 and it also brought changes that aim to improve users’ experience.
