You can't, you need to open the file to download it. For OneDrive files, there are items in the context menu to always keep a file offline, or to free the local space.

How did you copy it from the LTO tape? Normally the offline attribute is set for files where the actual data isn't present, and needs to be retrieved when trying to access the data. It looks like the offline attribute was incorrectly kept when the file was copied from the tape.

The same problem with the windows...

"It looks like the offline attribute was incorrectly kept when the file was copied from the tape."

So just use "ATTRIB" command from command line. You can also make button. Wildcards allowed, e.g.:

Code: Select all

ATTRIB -O *.*
to clear "offline" attribute for all files in current directory.
