With OneDrive Files On-Demand, files can be in one of three states. Each of these states corresponds to a file attribute state.To query the current state of a file or folder, use the following command:

/Applications/OneDrive.App/Contents/MacOS/OneDrive /getpin <Path to file or folder>

Scriptable commands

Use the following commands to set file and folder states.

Files On-Demand state	File attribute state	Command
Always available	Pinned	/Applications/OneDrive.App/Contents/MacOS/OneDrive /setpin <path>
Locally available	Clearpin	/Applications/OneDrive.App/Contents/MacOS/OneDrive /clearpin <path>
Online-only	Unpinned	/Applications/OneDrive.App/Contents/MacOS/OneDrive /unpin <path>

Note

To set the file attribute state for all items within a folder, add the /r parameter.
Pinning an online-only file makes the sync app download the file contents, and unpinning a downloaded file frees up space on the device by not storing the file contents locally.
To set an online-only file or folder to 'locally available,' you must first set it to 'always available.'
