Microsoft is taking steps to fix sync issues experienced by certain users of its OneDrive cloud storage service

In a company blog post, Windows VP Chris Jones writes that the third sync engine, which was introduced for Windows 8.1, has been causing problems due to support for placeholder files, which allows access to files stored on OneDrive while only using a faction of the device's hard disk.
