Remove "Add shortcut to OneDrive" from Sharepoint Sites
We have our users want to use the 'Sync' and not the 'shortcut to OneDrive' for file on the Sharepoint sites. I was able to run from powershell: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-SPOTenant -DisableAddS...

Well, it doesn't work here. The command specifically references "public preview" which this feature is no longer a part of. Running the command isn't working here, or for others.

mgudites1 as an FYI, my reply above was accurate that it didn't work for me, at least it didn't the first time. For some reason a week later when I tried it (maybe after I rebooted?) it worked fine and now we no longer have the option showing which is great. So Ronald Meer was correct.
- mgudites1Jul 30, 2021Brass ContributorWell, I'll keep trying it...Microsoft even told me "it won't work anymore" but maybe it's been re-enabled and they just don't realize it. I'll give it the weekend and take a look again on Monday.
- TheCleanerJul 30, 2021Copper ContributorYeah, best I can say is that here was what happened for me:
1. Updated the Sharepoint module on my local laptop and ran the command in the OP
2. Got the same "warning notice" about it being in preview
3. watched SPO and noticed after a week of checking the option was still there
4. Decided to try it one more time
5. 24 hours later the option was gone...and just the "sync" option remained
So I don't know why, but I'm glad it actually took as I agree with you that the negatives of keeping it outweigh the positives.
