![]() ![]() To resolve this problem, Microsoft removed placeholders entirely and introduced selective sync in Windows 10. As a result, files couldn’t be opened if users didn’t have an Internet connection. A placeholder is like a small dummy file on the local drive which represents a file present in the OneDrive cloud.Īnd therefore, the files weren’t made available offline to the users, unless they wanted it to be. When Microsoft introduced Windows 8.x version, they included a feature called ‘placeholder’ in its OneDrive app. Whenever you try to save a file, you would get an option to save it either on your hard drive or OneDrive but with no specific interface for OneDrive, things could definitely get confusing. You might not be able to see it but it’s definitely there. This means OneDrive is now sort of like a background app. Microsoft has completely removed the OneDrive app and integrated it well deep into the operating system. And that is why, the first change which I noticed in the operating system was the OneDrive app. I downloaded Windows 10 a few weeks back when I was writing a review for OneDrive. Microsoft is basically either eliminating features that it feels aren’t working or pushing them in a completely different direction. With the new operating system came a lot of enhancements and changes. In fact, about 75 million users have already upgraded their system to Windows 10. It’s been months since Windows 10 was first introduced by Microsoft and with its direct upgrade option a lot of people have switched from the annoying Windows 8.1 to 10 (Including me).
