Note:

• Not all OneDrive files will download to your Cloud VDI upon login. “OneDrive On-Demand” is enabled by default, which means if you open a OneDrive file, it will automatically sync to the desktop at that time. 
• OneDrive will only sync if you have at least 2GB of free space on your Cloud VDI profile. If files are not syncing, please reach out to Mines IT for assistance.
