Synch files from Onedrive for Business shared with Microsoft Account to PC?
Hi Michiel,
The users with whom the file has been shared are considered as external users.At the moment OneDrive.exe does not support for external users to sync files using onedrive.exe.
If the end goal is having the files available locally without going to the browser each time,depending on permissions you could try the approach of Map Network Drives to SPO/ODB.

Thanks! Good to get it confirmed. I already expected it. Don't like to mix commecial and consumer version to much. So I don't go for the workaround. They're a business... they need to learn that it sometimes costs a bit of money. (and I also expect extra work on my account with the workaround and when that doesn't work al the time)
