I then select the "Clear space" option on various folders as well as on individual files. The files will show the Syncing icon but will then show the Locally-available icon and not the cloud Online-only icon. I have tried 1 restarting my computer; 2 resetting the OneDrive app; and 3 unlinking my account from the OneDrive app, deleting the entire OneDrive folder and re-linking my account to the OneDrive app. None of these have worked and I would really appreciate some guidance and assistance from Microsoft and the community on this.
Also, I have no time or patience for the many cookie-cutter scripted answers that Microsoft reps have been giving in response to other similar posts on this exact same issue, so please don't waste our collective time.

Grace Yin Hey, If you had either? Grace Yin. Ru Thank you for your reply. I tested and it didn't work. Grace Yin What is the file extension? Mark Pahulje MVP. To clarify, the photos being downloaded by iTunes are not from my iPhone's camera roll, not photos I imported into iTunes, and not photos that are or should be stored in iCloud.
They're old photos taken by digital cameras that I imported into OneDrive. Thus, they should be stored exclusively in OneDrive. They should have zero association with any Apple product or service. There is literally no reason iTunes should even know they exist, let alone need to access them. You wrote: " The only reason iTunes would download photos via OneDrive with Files on Demand enabled is if the iTunes pictures are being sync'd to OneDrive on one of your devices, so I'd check that.
It is turned OFF. However, even it was turned on that wouldn't explain my problem. Again, the photos that iTunes are downloading are not from my iPhone, iTunes or iCloud. Moreover, if that setting was turned on, it would explain OneDrive pulling photos from Apple, whereas my problem is the other way around Apple pulling from OneDrive. The only other remotely related setting I'm aware of is the iCloud setting to download photos to my PC. That is turned on, but it doesn't explain my problem.
That setting causes iCloud to download photos from my iPhone into a "iCloud Photos" folder on my hard drive. When that happens i. But that's not the issue I'm describing.

I am still here to help you if you need anything else. I am not trying to share photos across devices. Your initial reply provided directions for using OneDrive to share photos across devices. I politely replied and explained that's not what I'm trying to do. Now you're giving me advice on the more appropriate app OneDrive vs. Again, I'm not trying to synch photos across devices, so that's not relevant to my problem. In other words, I'm treating OneDrive as an archive, not as platform for viewing or sharing photos.
Next you advise me that I should seek assistance in the iTunes forum and offer a link. That's very frustrating because it suggests you're not carefully reading my posts. As I explained in my original message, I have posted in the iTunes forum. I'd written: " I understand that the underlying problem is with iTunes' malicious behavior [ I appreciate that's a problem for Apple, not MS. However, am asking if there's an option in Windows' security settings to block an app installed on my PC from accessing documents in my OneDrive folders without permission.
