Enterprise icon vs OneDrive icon

What are the rules on the icons (and placement) when OneDrive is synced with File Explorer? I have my OneDrive synced and another that is shared with me under different hierarchies - all very confusi...

You are not missing anything - I was. I updated the previous post. You are correct!

So what you are saying is that my WORK stuff is under OneDrive because it is personal but when other colleagues at work share stuff with me (from their OneDrive) then it goes under the building icon? Now I am even more confused. Work stuff should be under the building and my OneDrive (Hotmail) should be under the white cloud. Seems you are using not using the BLUE cloud icon in file explorer properly (as you do on the task bar)

Salvatore Biscari We are also very confused here.
We have a handful of 365 accounts and we use a generic one for shared files. We sync to the folders under the generic account.
When trying to set up a new PC we cannot get the enterprise symbol to appear in explorer.
Sync from personal 365 account? or share from generic 365 account? or vis versa or both??

Nothing we are trying at present helps and it doesn't make any sense to us!

David Slight So what is happening today is that any shared group or team recieves the Blue buidling icon, even when your create the group or team and share it with others. The thread above suggest the blud bldg. icon only appears when someone shares with you. It also appears for groups or teams that you share with others.
