    You’re supposed to uncheck the save storage space and download files as you use them option.

      Ah yes, the classic Microsoft “what you really want is hidden behind a checkbox, otherwise you’ll get shit”.

      They made it the default option for businesses that routinely buy computers with less local storage than their users need. Pretty much every company I have worked for.

      They then pushed it out hard into the consumer market when SSD came out and the average storage space on lower end models dropped by 75%.

      I see why they did it, how they did it was in usual Microsoft fashion, idiotic.

      It’s sort of their pattern.

      1. Introduce new changes.

      2. Screw it up royalty.

      3. Fix the features that are salvageable and revert most of the remaining except: Double down on the shitty ones that they think will make them more money.

      4. Rinse and Repeat
