Enterprise icon vs OneDrive icon
What are the rules on the icons (and placement) when OneDrive is synced with File Explorer? I have my OneDrive synced and another that is shared with me under different hierarchies - all very confusi...
AFAIK, the icons put in the left bar by NGSC should follow these rules:
- Blue cloud named "OneDrive - Personal" contains data synced from OneDrive consumer. There should be only one, because NGSC allows to sync only one OneDrive consumer account.
- Blue cloud named "OneDrive - <Tenant>" contains data synced from ODfB in the tenant <Tenant>. As you can see, there can be several of them, because NGSC allows to sync more than one ODfB account from different tenants.
- Blue building named "<Tenant>" contains data sinced from SPO in the tenant <Tenant>. This includes TeamSites, Groups and Shared with Me from the tenant <Tenant>. There can be several of them because NGSC allows to sinc SPO doclibs from different tenants.
The NGSC icons arre arranged alphabetically in their section.
Hope it helps...
Salvatore Biscari I have no idea what you are saying because you are using acronyms that only expert users will understand which is totally worthless. How about spelling it out for us that actually need the help?!
This might help a little:
ODfB - OneDrive for Business (the older name for the service that syncs files stored in SharePoint document libraries with your PC)
SPO - SharePoint On-line (ie as part of Microsoft 365, previously Office 365 cloud service)The issue here is exactly as you point out - it is all obfuscated with arcane and overlapping acronyms that only geeks understand and yet this is all supposed to seamless and easy to use by mere mortals.
FIVE, yes five years after my original post, nothing has changed, and my files are still in arbitrary places (although the use of the Tower Block icon for organization ODfB stores is now more consistent).
And it gets worse: for example, Teams now stores RECORDINGS in these different places based on how you schedule the meeting.
