In Defense of OneDrive Selective Sync: Good Riddance to Placeholders

No one else is saying this, so I thought I would make the argument. I am really, really glad that Microsoft OneDrive does not use placeholder files in Windows 10. I just want the selective sync option like I had in Windows 7. Some people got really attached to the placeholders, but I hated them. They really messed up backup software, such as CrashPlan. Besides, I have an entire folder in OneDrive called “Archive.” It’s an archive ; I don’t want that folder ever touching my desktop PC. That folder needs to stay in the cloud and never be touched unless disaster strikes.
