Hello

Can anyone help me. We are in the process of setting up SharePoint and a new Windows Server for a client.
Now it would be cool if we can, via group policy or otherwise, synchronize the document store in their SharePoint site in Explorer.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Hi @Lino ,

    Welcome to Q&A Forum!

    From my research, I don't find a way to synchronize SharePoint Document libraries via group policy.

    We recommend that you can use OneDrive to sync files in your Microsoft 365 or Microsoft SharePoint site library to your computer.

    Please follow the steps:

    1.In your browser, on your SharePoint site, navigate to the library of files you want to sync with.

    2.Select Sync in the toolbar.

    Hello Lino,

    This is a regular feature for SharePoint.

    Please check:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sync-sharepoint-files-and-folders-87a96948-4dd7-43e4-aca1-53f3e18bea9b

    Other option is simply to use the SharePoint folder as a shared folder: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/map-a-network-drive-to-a-sharepoint-library-751148de-f579-42f9-bc8c-fcd80ccf0f53
