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.

Syncing with an external or guest account Synchronizing content using an external or guest user is currently not supported by OneDrive
I think the problem you have here is that you are mixing synchronization of ODFB / Consumer OneDrive...while it's true same sync client is used for both, I believe trying to sync ODFB content using a Microsoft account is not supported at this moment. By the way, adding here StephenRice
Thanks! Allready thought about this, but good to get it confirmed. Personally, I don't like mixing Microsoft Accounts and Work/School accounts where people are working together on a daily basis. Prefer to keep it to situations where someone just needs external access to a teamsite or file.
