      There are only two possibilities here: either they were trying to access these files offline on a different device, or they had their storage completely full.

      In the latter case OneDrive will kick out the oldest files to Online Only, so that you still have space to save newer stuff locally.

      Oh, I guess there’s a third option - they were using some obscure third party cloud storage. Something that’s not Filen, OneDrive or DropBox.
