My users cry for this update nearly every week now having seen their PC counterparts using it.

I have a few Mac users who are on the verge of totally moving to O365 and dropping other services and join with the rest of the staff who are on Windows and O365 when this feature rolls out.
- Brendan WalkerJun 13, 2018Copper ContributorYep! We someone accidentally sync the entire marketing drive to their device, run out of space and then started deleting folders in an attempt to free up space on their Mac.
This obviously deleted the files for everyone and we had a long an complicated recovery process to follow using Powershell as there's no "recover all" from the recycle bin.
Following this the entire Marketing dept want to move back to Dropbox and to save myself a headache I probably won't stop! I'll simply change their licenses to not include sharepoint/onedrive- AnonymousJun 13, 2018This is what files restore is for assuming your drive is on OneDrive. But at same time cause it’s shared you probabalu had other edits happen before someone noticed.

You can disable desktop sync at the Doc Library level, if that would help.

However it does reduce the functionality severely as people can't easily upload files to library's without the path being available/visible on their Finder?
