I am working with the basic personal version of One Drive on a Windows 11 computer. I watched all these tutorials and thought the designation was easy. After all the whole point of the cloud is to get things off the harddrive. But I am confused about the process. It seems some people are saying that I have to designate everything as on demand. I don’t know what on demand means, so let me dispense with the vernacular. I want a number of files that I have uploaded to remain only in the cloud on One Drive so that they do not take up any space on my hard drive. Can anyone demystify this process? I understand once I have accomplished this that the files that are only in the cloud will have a little cloud symbol next to them? Thanks
