Sharing OneDrive Folder or SharePoint Folder with OneDrive for Business
Yes, I have it set up now and it looks to be working. I am also looking into whether there is a reason for that OneDrive setting.
So, to recap, the reason my OneDrive and SharePoint folders were not syncing even though I was getting the "Sync this library to your device for easy access" dialog was because my browser wasn't showing me a popup that asks whether I want to open the OneDrive app on my computer or not. Once I unlinked my computer and relinked it to the OneDrive app and tried the sync again, the popup appeared and I was able to sync.
Further to that, the use of a shared OneDrive folder in this situation was not an ideal solution. The better solution was to share a folder created in a Classic SharePoint Site where I can control the access level for members.
Thank you so much to Salvatore Biscari, Deleted, jcgonzalezmartin, and Laurent Lee A Sioe for the help!
