REST get OneDrive sync link
Is there a way to get or construct a Sharepoint folder sync link (for OneDrive for Business) using the REST API? I have the requirement to implement a sync button to a application in order to remove...
after hours of hunting and following breadcrumbs I got it working.
the follwing URL has to be called in the browser to launch the OneDrive sync dialog:
odopen://sync?
scope=OPENFOLDER = static
&siteId=4d19e34e-9b05-xxxx-bb52-0cad8778ea21 = static value/config - Site GUID -_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery or https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/web/_api/web
