Syncing folders

I have one sharepoint sync for my private use which a few members has access to.

I have now created a communication site which includes syncing of files - some of them belongs to my "private" sync. I just copied and paste those files.

 

I want some of these files/folders to be synced both private and on the communication site simultaneously - if possibly at all? can these folders me shared somehow? Ot any other suggestions?

    Yes it's possible. Are you using OD4B sync client. It stores information in three tier architecture on your local PC one for OD4B personal, OD4B Business and SharePoint libraries. You can have private information files/folders in both OD4B files and communication site and sync from both locations simultaneously. Once synced to local you can also share it from both the locations.

      Yes I am.
      Place 1: Syncing my private files to me and couple of people
      Place 2: Syncing files for everyone

      Some of the files in place 1 has to be synced to place 2 as well and vice versa. How to you set this sharing/syncing up then?
      If I have been working on a file in place 1, I have to manually copy the updated file to place 2.

        A couple of comments:

        1. What do you mean exactly with "private" files?
        2. If some files are truly "private", they belong to your ODfB, not to a SharePoint library. From ODfB, if you want, you can share them anyway with a few other users in your organization.
        3. If some of these files need also to be shared with everyone in the organization, they are by no means "private" and, in this case, they really belong to a SharePoint library to which everyone has access.

        Just my two cents...
