Always download - no cloudf files

I Have a Question
1

This is something like a 10 years old question from what i can find on here, yet doesn’t seem like there’s still not a definite answer for this

I don’t want any cloudf file, it’s absolutely annoying when working in air-gapped environment and opening my docs folder to see the file is not bloody there, just a place holder

I have set download to always, sync option include check the “Include Subfolders” . Yet occasionally there’s still some folder without the actual file in it. How do i completely disable your cloudf placeholder features.

Hi @moophat0,
Checking the “Save and apply…” checkbox will set a rule that specifies that all new files and folders that are added to that structure will be automatically downloaded.

Are you using that option?

Could there also be an issue of timing? odrive needs to see that there are changes in the cloud in order to download them. Depending on the storage used and the size of your structure, that could take some time to do in the background.
