OneDrive - Tweaks and Search

[petben]

Has anyone had any luck removing the right click "Always Keep on this Device" folder option for students. I am concerned HDD will suffer when we move 100% to OneDrive. We use files on demand but this will sync whatever down.

 

I am also finding OneDrive search to be erratic to say the least.. e.g. A folder in a users OneDrive with a file - 'africa.txt'

 

I search for 'txt' 'africa' 'africa.txt' and it finds nothing. Sometimes in other folders search seems to work OK, although searching just by file name rather than contents as well would be nice - is that possible?

 

Maybe I am missing some global setting to index files on the site or something..?

 

Thanks

ref onedrive, no you cannot change that in a gpo/intune policy. However, you can configure "storage sense" GPO/Intune policy and storage sense has a setting for Content Dehydration Threshold; set it to a low number. I seem to remember having issues with permissions for this when I set it up, whilst a computer setting is made I believe that system has issues with onedrive folders when logged in as other people, this meant that even though I specified run times for storage sense, it was only really accurately run when users were logged in.
