How to specify specific folder for shared onedrive sync
I have my shared drive synced up in c:\ on my laptop. so it pts all the files in folder
"C:\OneDrive - MyOrgName.com". This is perfect.
Another user has shared folder xyz with me. When i sync that the folder "xyz" isn't sync under "C:\OneDrive - MyOrgName.com". It's gets sync under "C:\MyOrgName.com" as "C:\MyOrgName.com\user2 xyz". i.e. it's in a separate folder. How do do I specify that sync folders should get created as "c:\OneDrive - MyOrgName.com\xyz".
Note - I have a powerquery program which is configured to pickup the files from "c:\OneDrive - MyOrgName.com\xyz" so that it will execute consistantly on xyz folder owners machine and also on other user's machine with whom xyz folder is shared.

Hi Pravinptpldemo,
Have you tried adding the directory that's been shared with you as a shortcut?
BY going to your OneDrive in a browser > Shared > Shared with you. You should be able to click 'Add shortcut to my files' and this will then sync as if it's in your OneDrive.
