How to Steps

Files On-Demand works with all your current apps - including Windows desktop apps and Microsoft Store apps—and supports both personal and work files stored in OneDrive, SharePoint Online, and SharePoint Server 2019.

1. Verify you’re signed in

Make sure you’re signed in to OneDrive on your device.

2. Open the OneDrive menu

Select the white or blue OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows taskbar notification area.
If you don’t see it:

  • Click Show hidden icons (the up arrow).
  • If the icon still doesn’t appear, OneDrive may not be running. Select Start, type OneDrive, and open it from the search results.

3. Open OneDrive settings

In the OneDrive activity center, select More (…) > Settings.

4. Enable Files On-Demand

On the Settings tab, check the box labeled Save space and download files as you use them.
