At Ignite 2016, Microsoft has just announced that it is bringing Placeholders back to OneDrive on Windows 10. Now, they are not called Placeholders anymore — Microsoft is renaming the feature to "On-Demand Sync" which makes a lot more sense than "Placeholders".
The company demoed this feature at Microsoft Ignite today, and it works just like it used to previously. As you can see in the screenshot above, the files stored in OneDrive weighed in around 9GB, but the actual size on disk was only around 3MB which is really neat. Of course, this feature isn't anything new as it was available back in the Windows 8 days. However, Microsoft removed the feature with Windows 10, and after lots of waiting, they are finally coming back.
While Microsoft didn't announce when exactly Placeholders will be available to OneDrive users, we suspect it will be available with Windows 10 Redstone 2 — which is expected to arrive later this year.
