Sharepoint Document Library Sync

[b3n_lynch]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know a way I can sync a Sharepoint document library to another users Onedrive without getting them to manually logon to the Sharepoint site and press sync? Ideally I would like to do this with Powershell as this would be the easiest way to sync the site to multiple users. I cannot find any documentation on how to do this though.

 

Thanks

Ben

If i remember correctly, that GPO downloads the library to the devices. Could be problematic if its a large document library being applied to many devices.

You can use in conjuction with 'convert synced team site files to online-only files'.

Nope, it creates stub files for each file in the library, and only downloads the full file when you access it

Playing with this currently, I have seen that it can take up to 8 hours for it to sync down.

 

Can't tell if that's the reason it's not appeared in my test profile yet or I've done it wrong.

 

 

- I've set it up with one of our libaries using the full url ( not sure if I had to convert it to work with group policy?)

- Enabled Convert Synced files & files on demand

 

Does it work with different ad/365 logons?

I replaced the following values in the URL for it to work via Intune:

 

Replace

%2D with –

%7B with {

%7D with }

%3A with :

%2F with /

%2E with .

 

Whoever signs into the device should get their libraries of any sharepoints that they are a member of, providing you have added the library ID in the GPO.
