Sharepoint and Files on Demand

Question

Hey :)

So i scanned the forums for an answer to this, of which there are a couple but they still dont answer my question.

When using SharePoint the FOD works (I get the symbols) but what i dont get is the right click menu with "Share, View Online, Version History, Always Keep On This Device and Free Up Space" like i get in OneDrive basically making SharePoint FOD useless as any user that looks at a file cant then return it to the cloud so it doesn't use local space, the reason for FOD, any ideas as to why this is?

This is OneDrive options

This is the SharePoint Options:

Hi @Mark Gray

Have you tried to reinstall OneDrive? You can reinstall OneDrive and restart the OneDrive sync client.

And remember to turn off the User Account Control: Open UAC settings -> Drag the slider down to Never notify -> Ok.
