Hi,

 

Can it be tracked in Office 365 where it shows the time when OneDrive app on the desktop last synched with OneDrive online ?

 

Thanks

  • This can be done centrally, via searching the audit log in the Office 365 https://support.office.com/search/results?query=audit+log+in+the+Office+365+Security+%26+Compliance+Center. Here is the list of SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business synchronization activities that are available including

     

    • Downloaded files to computer
    • Downloaded file changes to compute

     

    Auditing has to be turned on first for this to work. 

     

     

    There doesn't appear to be a way to track sync activities locally, though clicking the OneDrive icon in the system tray will say if syncing is up to date.
