Create Shared Folders in OneDrive for Business as "root" instead of under Admin's personal account
Hi all,
I just found this older thread and have the same request - to be able to create shared folders in OneDrive that are not linked to an individual.
I agree that SharePoint would be a better option, but we don't yet use SharePoint online.
We need a cloud based location to store documents that would be accessed by key staff during a Business Continuity event, or Crisis Management event, etc.
The staff need to be able to access the documents from where ever they are, with appropriate security.
OneDrive, since we already have it, sounds like a good option except for the constraint that the folders to hold the documents appear to have to be linked to an individual. My main concern (other than it looking a little poor) is what happens if that staff member leaves the organisation.
So, does anyone know if it is possible to create shared folders in OneDrive that are not linked to a user?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same query, were you able to get an answer to this? Can you set up a central shared drive folders that are not linked to one particular person?
Thanks!
