OneDrive File Status - Online Only / Local / Always Local

happydaze11

I am wondering if there is a way to see if the OneDrive file status when browsing in the BoxCryptor drive. When browsing OneDrive directly using File Explorer there is a status column which shows the status of the file with an icon i.e. Online Only / Local / Always Local. This is useful to know as it helps manages disk space and freeing up files as needed.

A interim solution is right-click the file in the BoxCryptor drive and select "Show original in OneDrive". This takes you to a new Explorer window and shows you the status column. It would be nice and convenient however if this status / icon was available in the BoxCryptor drive - is there a way to do this?

Lastly - it would be great if in the BoxCryptor drive you could have access to the right-click OneDrive menu options such as "Free up space" and "Always keep on this device".

Hi happydaze11,

We did have this feature implemented in the past (which also does exist in our macOS version)!

Unfortunately, due to a limitation in Windows of 15 overlay icons that is now reduced even further in Windows 10, we decided to drop this feature for now since we would contribute even further to the ongoing "Shell Icon Overlay battle" (https://cito.github.io/blog/overlay-icon-battle/).

To avoid completely being part of this short come, we will migrate to the newer status icons in the future (you might already have seen in your OneDrive sync folder).

Unfortunately I cannot tell you exactly when this will happen.

Best regards,
Florian
