Hi,
I have shared a folder from my OneDrive (for business) to an external user (external organization). He has also an O365 E3 subscription. When he click on the invitation email, he sees correctly the content of my folder and can edit any document. But on the toolbar there is no "sync" button to let him synchronize my folder on his computer. How can I enable this feature ?
Thanks for your help,
Antoine

Instructions are nice but where is this working? We currently have shares with a few tenants and a couple users have successfully linked in OneDrive but others don't even show the buttons in the toolbar to Sync or Add. Possible that the other tenants do not have the proper settings in place, possible they manually created the guest accounts for the couple that are working?
Bottom line - the lightweight hacks over at DropBox are making Microsoft look like chumps. GET THIS FIGURED OUT!

@Stephen Rice Any news on an update about syncing external folders to OneDrive?

@Stephen Rice We're now 2021, is this feature available now?

If you enable B2BSync yes it woks fine. Both with Sharepoint document libraries (and Teams) as well as OneDrive shared folders...

Intermittent would be the best way to describe it at this point. Our experience is that between the same tenants we find it works fine for user A, then user B might have to view it in Classic to see the sync, then user C might need some sort of ID reset in the source tenant to get it to go, etc.. No consistency even between the same two tenants. So while rollout may have been an issue early on wherein some tenants had the feature and others did not, that should no longer be the case and even if it were, the example above is within a 2 tenant test group where the feature must already exist. Although I suppose there could be a single tenant difference between MS datacenters?
IDK, as @yvesvg stated - it's 2021. The simpletons over at DropBox are still kicking the mighty Microsoft. People are losing their jobs trying to pull Microsoft dead weight - fix it or we will have to recommend Google Drive.

@Antoine HESKIA Thanks, the link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/b2b-sync helped me set it up after creating a guest account on the Azure admin panel.
