I haven't had luck with sync. The "cloud files" feature supposedly requires windows 10+, and I have a major problem with the "get a url" functionality (it doesn't work on files on the cloud). This, and a host of other issues, seems to be the result of their using microsoft's new cloud syncing APIs. I'm going to be trying to find some other cloud files shell extension that works as well as dropbox when the client actually stops working on win7. Anyone have any suggestions?

It is still working on Windows 7 for now, but what have they done on my Windows 11 machine? Suddenly all the files are no longer there and replaced with a cloud sign next to them, where I have to click on them and then they download.
I never asked for this. How do I disable it? I want them on the machine. I have 2TB of hard disk space and if I travel somewhere I'd expect the files on my computer to be there without me having to continually download the ones I want.
Another company who forces their new ideas on users without asking them first?
