With NGSC at the moment:

You cannot sync "Shared with me" as a whole.
You cannot sync individual files shared with you.
You can sync whole folders shared with you.

Thanks

John Tsalamandris In your onedrive, click on shared with me, then open the folder you want to sync, and the sync button will appear at the top of the folder. Again, this will only work for files in a folder, not in the root of shared with me.

It stands for Next Generation Sync Client - the new OneDrive client essentially.
