SharePoint Files via shared link
Andrew Hodges I got the OneDrive syncing with my own files but not the files I'm accessing through a web browser link from the other business who is in fact the folder/file creators which also use Office365 but there not part of our office365 account.
Although I have full access/rights to edit upload/download to this other businesses folders/files I still cant get them to store locally on my computer.
When I'm in my SharePoint, it shows similar web address to the link I have from my supplier but it looks like one screen is operating in Sharepoint the other in Office 365. It's like I am missing the Sync functionality between the two seperate Office365 accounts to allow the folders/files to appear in my SharePoint.
Or is it a matter of only people within the folder creators business can sync to a local drive. E.g. I can sync Company1 because I am in that admin group. I am not in the Company2 set of log ins.
Your feedback is appreciated.
The other company may have turned this off though. First thing to check is if one of their users can sync files.
The sync button will be at the top of their document library in their SharePoint. I dont quite know what you mean about it appearing in your SharePoint as this wouldn't happen.
The tenant cannot see the ‘sync’ button as per how you described below, so what does he have to do to turn it on?
There is a setting in the Library settings called Offline client Availability under advanced settings:-
Turn that on and the Sync button will appear.
