Move synced libraries to another PC

Hello guys,


I just wanted to find out if there is a way to resync and remap already synced SharePoint libraries to new computer? The same thing that this person has asked 2 years ago Automatically sync SharePoint libraries on new PC from previous one - Microsoft Tech Community

 

Is there information if this is being worked on, whether it is or will be possible etc.?

 

Any information would be much appreciated

 

Thank you.

    A little late maybe for a reply, but what you can do is load all the URLs from your registry, search for URLNamespace. Save this as a text-file a strip it down to just contain the URLs. 

    Then you can add 'start ' in front of each and you have a PowerShell script to load all the pages in your browser and the can click sync on them one by one

      Really not pretty, but did the trick. Addition: To make the txt file a ps skript, name it .ps1.
      Also the Export hat plenty urls for each entry. Be smart about which ones to take :)

    You can achieve this with Endpoint Manager (Intune), or if you are in a Domain environment, you can deploy Group Policy to sync SharePoint sites automatically.

      Yup that's great but this works only for SharePoint libraries that you specify. I cannot find a way to synchronize SharePoint libraries that user has selected from one computer and have the same ones on another computer.
