is there a settings to 'add shortcut to onedrive' in any of the MDM policy settings
Currently, we have setup adding shared libraries to onedrive when users enrol thier windows 10 devices. This has been working great over the years. But we have been advising users to use the...
Hi,
Not that I know of. It could also be hard, because when you have sharepoint sites mounted in onedrive, you will need to remove them first before you add the shortcut. Another problem would be, duplicate names... Sometimes you need to change the shortcut name first, before you could add another shortcut... I like the question... I am curious if anyone knows if it could be done

- yes, I will do more research and would be intrigued if it can be done.
currently, when you remove a library / shared folder from the onedrive app (settings-->account-->stop synching), the folder still exists and you have to remove it manually - which can be problematic as you will need to kill of some processes etc.
When you remove the shortcut however, it will actually remove remove the folder from the onedrive app as well. A much cleaner and smoother way for users for sure!
with the duplicate names, thats something we need to test if we ever have to deploy the setting. however, this should not be an issue for new user onboarding experience.- Hi,
Indeed, new users would not expierence this issue..THe only location (so far I know) where this setting is stored on the local device would be
C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\Business1.
Inside the 234234234234.ini file. There is a difference if you compare them
AddedScope --> shortcut
LibraryScope --> teams mount
Luckily users only need to configure this once... if they got a new device... the shortcut would be added also
