The communication should have been in the app, not on a blog few might have seen. I understand the process needed to change.

How do I remove, or do I even attempt to remove ANY files that were downloaded to the internal hard drive? I'm on a Mac mini, is the best way to just pull the ethernet and disable wifi after my files appear to be synchronized, and see what's still there to ensure I have my files?Īs with the many users reading the "Inside the new files on-demand experience." post I am very frustrated with this experience. I realized the issue, paused the sync, unlinked the account and the started again pointing to the correct folder. It started to load up the internal drive. I thought files which were "pinned" to use your internal term, were no longer pinned and selected ALWAYS KEEP ON DEVICE for the folder. I didn't notice at the time as I clicked through, but OneDrive did NOT default to the previous location (an external hard drive), instead pointing to the internal hard drive. After already struggling through the recent changes I was frustrated to see that OneDrive required setup again. I have not been actively using Google Drive for a couple of years now, but I have just tested it in the past week and Spotlight seems to be indexing and finding files that have been mirrored locally i.e. The way I understand this, this impacts primarily files that are streamed and not available locally, similar to current OneDrive issues. However, there also seem to be issues around Spotlight and indexing see this on Google Cloud Community forums. Still, it's 'all or nothing' there as the new client has lost the selective sync ability when it was released last year, so you either use file streaming (= files on demand) or sync everything to the Mac (you cannot select just a couple of folders). Google Drive currently works fine, as it does not rely on deprecated Kernel extensions, so it may not be impacted by changes (this remains to be seen). However, I agree that the new OD behaviour results in an uncomfortable uncertainty if you just want to make sure your files are local and available to all the apps you may be using.ĭropbox is currently in beta with the Apple Silicon optimised client, and they have said that they will have more information on the impact of macOS 12.3 and File Provider when the next beta rolls out in March.

The worst that can (probably) happen is that the files would be unavailable to DT until "downloaded" from OD's cache again.

However, I don't think you would lose any files indexed in DEVONthink, and everything will probably be fine, should anything happen, when you fix/update the path to indexed files.

Most of my databases have imported files (except for one database, which also indexes files in OneDrive and which has been fine so far), so if you are concerned about this, for the time being, you may consider switching to importing instead of indexing files. DT's development team does not consider this to be a significant issue currently as they have mechanisms in place to detect broken paths to files but there is no definite official stance on this yet. Has recently been a thread at DEVONtechnologies' forum about the impact that the changed behaviour of OneDrive may have on DEVONthink if you are indexing files.
