Office 365 - Sync - Copy Library ID

[sted]

In the powershell script don't put the spaces in the sitename variable so just have it as testshareddrive and see what you get.

 

ive just created a test2 and that dumps the output fine. I did notice in the address bar of the older one it dosent say sites\name the new one does. i wonder if because i created that sharepoint site years ago for something they have made changes. im now going to try and use test 2 see if that maps

To get the Copy Library ID link to appear I had to set these to options in the SharePoint Online Management Shell

 

Set-SPOTenantSyncClientRestriction -GrooveBlockOption "HardOptIn"

 

and

 

Set-SPOTenantSyncClientRestriction -GrooveBlockOption "SoftOptIn"

 

Also from the SharePoint Admin settings page make sure OneDrive for Business Experience is set yo "New experience"

So on the SharePoint Admin page that you screenshotted there, also under Sync Client for Sharepoint, make sure you select "Start the new Client".

 

With the SharePoint Online Powershell module, run the following commands in order.

 

Connect-SPOService

 

This will ask for the URL of the SharePoint admin center. It should be https://DOMAIN-admin.sharepoint.com

 

Set-SPOTenantSyncClientRestriction -GrooveBlockOption "HardOptIn"

 

Set-SPOTenantSyncClientRestriction -GrooveBlockOption "SoftOptIn"

it wouldnt let me select new client on both when i changed the onedrive one it auto changed the sharepoint one and if i then changed sharepoint it said This option can't be selected because you chose to sync SharePoint files with the new sync client.

[lmrogers]

I'm sure I selected new client on both and then just hit OK. I then ran those commands in SharePointOnline Powershell Module and the link started appearing when hitting the sync button.

 

Have you managed to successfully run those commands?

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to share a bit of information. I was also having some trouble getting my Library ID for the GPO. However, I downloaded chrome onto Mac OS. Then went to the sync button and it was there! No other browser would work, not even safari. So to test I compared the PowerShell script output, and then the link from Microsoft. In my stupidity, there was a space at the end of the PowerShell output! After I removed that 30 Min Later, it's all working as intended!

Having a play with this at the moment. Powershell script works fine but the only thing it doesn't pull is the LinkID. Is that part necessary, any examples available please?

Quick question......Just got the gpo working:

 

Does the 8 hour wait happen for every new login? Or is it just the first time per computer/user?

 

Thanks

I find new logins take around 15 to 20 minutes to start syncing the libraries. So long as OneDrive is able to update and auto login. Once syncing however, if you use Local Profiles and don't delete them then it'll be syncing again as soon as you login.

Do users find that acceptable? Anyway of that following a user?

 

Thanks

Yes they seem to. Bit of pain mind, be nice to be quicker but we don't delete local profiles quick enough for it to be a problem unless it's a long holiday. Christmas or Summer. You can always get to data via Teams or Office. Or manually sync too.

The libraries dont appear instantly but by the sounds of it you've had it set long enough. I also recall there was a requirement to set onedrive to enable insider, but you'd assume

 

Heres a code snippet I use to pull a couple of libraries down. I think I setup fiddler and/or procmon and did it manually to see what happens, getting the right siteID etc.
