Effects of changing the Organization name
Hello. Our organization name is set up with a comma right now. I believe this drives the local OneDrive directory name (OneDrive - Name, Inc). If we edit the name to display without the comma, what w...
Renaming the OneDrive folder (actual path name) will not work as the client tries to "lock" the path. If the client is turned off, and then renamed - we will error out. You are able to change the friendly name of the entry that shows in file explorer, but note that this would not change the name that is accessible when navigating from command line.
The alternative here is renaming the tenant friendly name so the desired name can appear in all of the clients appropriately. However, we would not be able to smoothly transition for an already set up client. A client would need to a fresh setup, or be unlinked/relinked in order to handle the newly updated tenant name. Let me know if that helps!

Resurfacing this issue... We had the same problem: org name as originally entered was long and had a comma. Problems ensued, so we were prepared to resync as needed. However, following the org name change, attempted to unlink and relink (on Windows 10), ODFB still insists on a path with the old name. So, uninstalled OneDrive, removed the related registry entry, reinstalled OneDrive; still shows old org name in path. Tried reinstall a few times, adding reboots in the mix. Nothing worked. I am stymied how to change path name.
