To stop syncing a specific SharePoint Document Library, you can follow these steps:
- Click on the blue cloud icon in your computer’s taskbar to access OneDrive for Business on your computer.
- From the pop-up that appears, click on “More”.
- From another pop-up that appears, choose “Settings”.
- On the next screen, you will see a list of all the places you synchronize. Most likely you will see your own OneDrive being synchronized, plus any SharePoint document libraries you pressed sync on.
- To un-sync, just click on “Stop Sync” next to the location you want to stop synchronizing.
- You will then get a confirmation message; just press “Stop Sync” button.
- Press “OK” – you are all set. You will see the green checkbox (that you normally see appear over the yellow folder) gone – meaning there is no more synchronization in place and no link between SharePoint document library and your computer.
I hope this helps!
