ONEDRIVE/SHAREPOINT So we had a couple of problems with Synchronisation and Link to OneDrive. What is here the roadmap? Are there any plans to get rid of the Sync Feature in Sharepoint/Teams and allow only the Link option? Is it planed to extend the Path length in Sharepoint to have longer Path then 412 characters ?

We are working to bring "Add to OneDrive" to everyone so that everyone can use Shortcut Folders instead of syncing Shared Libraries. There is a policy today to remove the Sync button on web if you are interested in rolling that out so you can have only "Add to OneDrive" in the web command bar. Also thanks for the feedback on max file path. We will continue to investigate there

    @carter Green Thanks for the answers. That is really great. Do you have a documentation how to disable the sync and use only add to OneDrive ?

    What are the downsides to syncing compared to adding the link? And how does this work with sustainability?
