Syncing Sharepoint files using OneDrive on Windos Server 2019
Hi everyone. We are a small office and use Sharepoint in Microsoft 365 to keep our office files. We have an on-premises Windows Server 2019 server and is currently using OneDrive to sync Sharepoint...
Sounds like a permission issue on Sharepoint. Permission inheritance isn't happening from the parent to a child somewhere. Do you have your external users connected to the site or just formed as a group? It's easy to make the mistake of not having child inheritance turned on when making a new group or during sharing.
Also when the external users connect to SharePoint are they using the Add a Shortcut to OneDrive button or the Sync button? Don't use Sync it will cause problems. Adding a shortcut will put a linked folder into the external users OneDrive. It's just a link straight to SharePoint that takes up no space on the users OneDrive. They simply open that folder in file explorer and add files.
