macOS File Provider version – How to "revert" a folder to not be offline

I've set folders to "Make available offline" but I see no way to "revert" those folders to the default state of the files being downloaded, but can be removed if space is low. The only thing I found that worked was to set the folders to online-only, then re-download the files. There has to be a better way to do this because these were LARGE folders and it took a while to re-download everything.

  • Hi Mawthra , thanks for messaging today.

     

    Currently, the only options are to mark files as available offline, or online-only. 

     

    It isn't possible to directly make them 'Available', which is the option you're referring to according to this page

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

      Hopefully the keyword there is "currently", because the solution to reverting a file/folder back to "Available" is archaic and tedious.
