Hi everyone. We are a small office and use Sharepoint in Microsoft 365 to keep our office files. We have an on-premises Windows Server 2019 server and is currently using OneDrive to sync Sharepoint files to the server. The folder that was created by OneDrive on the server is also being shared to all PCs in our office mapped as the J drive. We are using Active Directory. So, users can do changes to the files or create new ones from their PCs using the J drive and they get uploaded/updated to Sharepoint when OneDrive syncs the files. This part is working good as expected. The issue we are having is that there are 4 employees that work remotely so we shared the SharePoint folders with them and they installed OneDrive directly on the computers to get access to the SharePoint folders. If one of these 4 users creates a folder, this folder gets downloaded with the parent folder permissions on our on-premises server. But, if one of these 4 users adds a file, this file is being downloaded with Administrator permissions only so no one in the office can see the files until someone manually changes the file permissions on the server to allow users to get access to the file. We have tried almost everything we can think of to try to give the right permissions to the files downloaded from OneDrive but with no success yet. I would really appreciate any recommendations.696Views0likes2CommentsSharepoint synchronization issues
Hello all, for a project we chose Sharepoint 365 as data storage and created a link from the Documents library to OneDrive, so all data stored in Documents is synchronized with the users device (about 30 users are working in this project and are synchronizing this data). In the Documents library currently there are about 11000 folders (in the root) with subfolders and files each folder. The problem is, that changes are synchronized veeeeeery slowly. When a user creates a file/folder oder changes a file/folder locally it takes hours to days(!) until the change is synchronized to Sharepoint (online). We see, that the OneDrive app is searching and detecting changes, synchronizing changes and finishes synchronization, but the change is not synchronized, also the file/folder is still tagged with the "pending synchronization" icon. OneDrive restart, Windows reboot, nothing helps.. Sometime later (hours to days) the change is synchronized, but now other users have the problem, that this change needs to be synchronized with them and this process also can take hours to days. The problem concerns all users that are working in this project. So, all users are cery frustrated and we have no idea, what we can do. We hope there is someone who knows possible solutions. We use Win11, OneDrive 24.091.0505.0003, Sharepoint 365, 1Gb Internet connection Regards Florian617Views0likes2CommentsOneDrive: Unable to add shortcut for shared files under "My Files"

I have eight SharePoint Directories synced to my Desktop File Explorer (also known as OneDrive sync when initiating the sync function from the browser). Over the past month, 3 of those directories have come up with error messages that were only resolved by 'stopping sync'. Now, I can't sync them again as when I try to sync from the SharePoint directory in the browser, I get an error message saying "Sorry, we can't sync this folder. You're already syncing a shortcut to a folder from this shared library." Except, I'm not! The folder does not show the cloud icon on the desktop version (to confirm that its syncing) and the folder does not show up in my list of synced directories to restart sync (screenshot attached, taken from OneDrive icon/Settings/Account). I've even moved two of the folders into another location and it still says I'm syncing them. Can anyone assist please?395Views0likes0CommentsOneDrive showing incorrect user
Hi all, When I edit a shared document through OneDrive (or Teams or Sharepoint) through the web, it correctly shows those edits as being attributable to me. However, if I open that document on my local machine, the edits are being attributed to another user. I am collaborating as an invited guest (invited through Azure AD) using B2B collaboration (I think). I am by no means an experienced or advanced 365 / Azure / Sharepoint administrator. A more detailed background (I hope is not too confusing): My local machine is a Mac. I have a 365 Business Std subscription for my own organisation (Org A) and I'm the global admin (Org A Admin). I work with a different business (Org B).As I'm the most knowledgable person at Org B when it comes to MS365, I help them manage their own 365 subscriptions (a combination of 365 Bus Std and Exchange Online P1).I have access to the global admin account for Org B (Org B Admin). I have recently begun to introduce Org B to Teams so that we can collaborate on certain projects using Teams and Sharepoint. To do this, as Org B Admin,I created a Team under Org B(call it Team B). I then invited Org A Admin to Team B as this is my day-to-day work account. I sent this invite from within Team B while logged in as Org B Admin. For a while, I collaborated this way successfully as Org A Admin. I then decided to 'upgrade the collaboration' by setting up B2B collaboration between Org A and Org B.I made the necessary changes to the incoming/outgoing collaboration settings for both organisations. I deleted my existing external user at Org B and reinvited myself as a guest through Azure AD at Org B (tyrone@OrgA) I collaborated this way for a while using Teams. I edited documents through Teams - sometimes through the Teams interface but also by synchronising files to my local machine using OneDrive. Any edits I made were always shown as originating from my Org A account, i.e. tyrone@OrgA. I was able to move between Org A and Org B in Teams without any problems. When I opened Teams on my local machine, I could move between Org A and Org B in the top right of the app. Two instances of OneDrive opened when I logged in to my machine - one synchronised Org A files and the other synchronised Org B files. From yesterday, when I edit a document in Team B on my local machine, the edits I make show as being done by Org B Admin andnot tyrone@OrgA. However, when I make edits through the Teams interface, these edits are correctly shown as being made by tyrone@OrgA. It appears as though my guest account at Team B(tyrone@OrgA) is being confused with Org B Admin. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this: I logged out of all my local Office applications (including OneDrive and Teams) I deleted and reinstalled all the Office applications (including OneDrive and Teams) I deleted all local caches, plist files, etc. I deleted my guest account at Org B and ensured that my user account was also deleted from Team B. I logged back into to local Office apps, Teams and OneDrive using my Org A credentials and all is working fine. I invited myself back to Org B using the Azure AD interface as a guest. I added myself back to Team B (using the Teams admin interface under Org B). I then navigated to Team B through my local machine (where I'm logged in to the Office apps as Org A Admin), edited the file locally, and again my edits were attributed to Team B Admin. Same thing happened if navigating to the Team through the Teams online interface. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. Thank you. 🙏Solved5.7KViews0likes4CommentsHow can I automatically add a SharePoint shortcut to OneDrive as I add members?
Hi, I'm creating Communication Sites to restructure the file-share system, and I'd like to whenever I add members to a SharePoint site to have it as a shortcut on their OneDrive automatically for them. Can it be done via GPO or PowerShell or SharePoint interface? Thank you.7.3KViews0likes6CommentsCannot delete local folder for previously synced SharePoint location
I've got a Mac running MacOS 12.5 and OneDrive sync client version 22.151.0717.0001. OneDrive syncing is working fine, and syncing SharePoint libraries or folders works as well. However, when I STOP syncing a SharePoint location, the shortcut to that location seems to persist in Finder with no way to delete it. When I right/command click the shortcuts, there's no "Move to trash" option. Dragging to the trash does nothing (shows a "do not enter" icon in the trash window). I've quit/restarted OneDrive and tried restarting the computer. The only way to get rid of them is to "reset" OneDrive, which ALSO resets my OneDrive content sync (business and personal), so that's not a practical option for what may be a common practice (stopping syncing and cleaning up). Is there some additional permission or setting that needs to be enabled to delete these "left behind" folders?4.4KViews0likes4CommentsSyncing and Sharing Non-Office Files from SharePoint Online
I'm wondering how OneDrive for Business sync works for non-office files that are stored in SharePoint Online and shared across multiple users? For one of our customers, SharePoint is their storage repository and users are syncing the same library to their devices for collaboration. How does the sync work when multiple users open and edit the same non-office file? e.g. photoshop or illustrator They're finding that for certain files, it's creating duplicate copies. Thanks!Solved3.1KViews0likes3Comments"Add Shortcut to onedrive" via intune / GPO / Powershell etc
Hi, I'm trying to migrate our company data from traditional shared drives, I'd like to be able to use the "add shortcut to OneDrive" in SharePoint document libraries to "map" each departments data into their OneDrive. Our users are particularly unskilled in IT as we a a large dairy and not part of their core skills. Is there a way to do this by policy via Intune, Powershell or GPO? I can see a way to sync document libraries automatically, but we have very large document libraries and this is not practical, I'd much rather use the newer "Shortcut to OneDrive" method.
