Microsoft rolls out Files On-Demand for Mac to OneDrive for Business users
Been beta testing this for a while now and it works well. One thing I have noticed is that files that are stored solely in the cloud will get automatically pulled down when you start an application it's associated with for some strange reason. For example, if I create a PDF using Preview and then mark it to 'Free up Space' which removes the local copy, the file will be retrieved the next time I open Preview. Note that I'm not choosing to open the file, just opening Preview for a general reason.
That said, for about 99% of the other files it behaves just fine. I have 127GB in the cloud and the local copies ATM only take up 53MB on my disk. I really wish Apple push out a way to do this as well.
