    Hi Bruno K 

     

    The article you linked to includes the minimum system requirements which states it works on Windows 8 and higher.

Hello,
I would like to know if the functionality described below works with Windows 8 or if it requires at least Windows 10?

 

"If you have a paid account you can also mark files and folders as Online-only. This will also remove them from your local drive while leaving a placeholder there so you can still see and interact with the file as needed."

 

Thank you

 

Bruno
