Hi all, I would like to add the word SharePoint at the end of the text displayed on the root folder of all synced SharePoint Document libraries in file explorer. We are finding users getting confused by the logo (a city/ skyscrapers) as well as which is SharePoint and which in OneDrive. The image should make it clear what we want to change. Does anyone know where this text comes from and how we could change it? Thanks!

Hi Abhimanyu Singh, I just wanted to make a quick callout that the Groove sync client only copies the "canonical" link to the document (which functions like the "People with existing access" link in the modern sharing dialog). If you want a link that can be used to grant others access to the doc, we suggest using the new sharing dialog (which NGSC can retrieve). Thanks! Stephen Rice OneDrive Program Manager II

It comes from Organization Profile. in Admin Center. If you want to add SharePoint to your Company name you can update there.https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Change-your-organization-s-address-technical-contact-and-more-a36e5a52-4df2-479e-bb97-9e67b8483e10

But then the changed text will be visible also at the end of the label of the ODfB root, which, I presume, it is not a wanted effect...IMHO, the "building" icon should be enough to understand that it refers to the SharePoint libraries.

Thanks, good to know where it comes from, I imagine changing that information would have consequences elsewhere that are not desired, unfortunately.

    I feel even the SharePoint logo would make more sense than a building icon.
