Hello. Can you add onedrive sync status icons column to explorer panels? I use everyday onedrive to save my work files, but I need open  windows file explorer to knowing if my folders are in my hard disk or online. This request will be useful to me and I hope useful to more people

thanks

Problem is that MS have not documented on how to get that information. I been experimented with some ways, not sure that it is correct yet.. But it is not ready yet.. So Maybe

In Explorer, select View > Options.  Then tick this setting:



[x] Always show availability status

It shows that in Windows Explorer. I need a way to get that info from code. I have not investigated it in a while so there might be a way now. Not sure. I will add a investigation task for my self and see if I can find a way

Hi Mathias,

I'm able to see the OneDrive availability status (online/offline icons) after simply enabling the folder options mentioned above.  No coding needed. See screenshot.

Compare my MC left-side panel which shows my OneDrive subfolders (green icon overlay indicating all files in sync and available offline) VS.
the MC right-side panel which shows my C: root (no green icons, since these files are not synced to the cloud). 

MC also displays correctly for DropBox folders (similar to OneDrive, but not shown in the screenshot).

I do not know how MC is determining the cloud status, perhaps the OS is supplying the info to MC when it reads the extended folder attributes? I'm on Windows 10 64-bit home edition.  My OneDrive is version 2018 (build 18.222.1104.0007)

Perhaps enabling the file explorer option above will help someone else see their cloud folder status without additional coding efforts.

Cheers!
