Why Always Keep on this Device Doesn’t

➡️ The "Always keep on this device" feature has misled people into deleting and losing important files. Here's why, and what to do instead.

Always keep on this device?
This feature applies only to files within OneDrive, and only turns off the Files On-Demand feature for individual files and folders. Files deleted from within your OneDrive folder anywhere will still be deleted from all machines synchronized with that OneDrive account, regardless of this setting.
