SharePoint Doc Library issues with newest OneDrive NGSC
Yes we've seen a couple of instances where the files have unexpectedly vanished, only to appear in the recycle bin in the manner you describe. We've not been able to pin down the cause yet. I'd like to get to the bottom of this quickly as it is causing confidence to wobble. Is there a way to enable device level logs?
In my experience that behavior has always been due to human errors, usually on shared files maintained in ODFB (hence contrarily to best practices...) and synced on multiple clients.
Have you carefully verified who is reported in the recycle bin to delete the file(s)?
Probably he/she is indeed the culprit. :-)
Just my 2 cents...
Salvatore,
Can you tell me why you wrote this "(hence contrarily to best practices...)". Is Microsoft discouraging use of a feature they built in? SharePoint sync is very useful especially now with the selective folder option.

Hi Christine.
I was speaking about ODFB.
ODFB is meant to store personal business documents: therefore such files are expected to be shared sparingly and temporarily by the owner.
All the documents heavily accessed by multiple users should instead be stored in classic team sites or in Groups.
Hence to keep indefinitely heavily shared documents in ODFB is contrary to best practice.
Give a look to this (a little) old but still perfectly valid article: https://en.share-gate.com/blog/onedrive-for-business-vs-sharepoint-team-site-infographic
- Alas not human error this time. It's OneDrive but I need to find a way to make it log its activities so I can prove it.
Simon,
Please post if you figure it out.

Simon,
I wish Microsoft would chime in on this. We are trying to get everything in the cloud but we need to be very confident that we can sync sharepoint document libraries without these issues. Our West coast office IT meets with Finance next week about this. Finance is fighting back and does not want their shared drive in SharePoint. I will look into device level logs.
