Work with files in Files On-Demand

When Files On-Demand is on, you’ll see new status icons next to each of your SharePoint files. You can now copy or move files from your computer to SharePoint right from your file system.

	Save space on your device by making files online-only. These files are only available when you're connected to the Internet, but don't take up space on your computer.
	When you open an online-only file, it downloads to your device and becomes locally available. You can open a locally available file at anytime even without Internet access.
	To make a file always available, even when you're offline: Right-click it and select Always keep on this device. To change a file back to an online-only file: Right-click it and select Free up space.
