OneDrive Website Sync Button Missing..?

Question

OneDrive Website Sync Button Missing..?

Korn Nope 10

I can't find the Sync bottom in my OneDrive. It doesn't show in my folder and I'm trying to have access with the shared folder in my file explorer.

Any help?

(I try to different browser & cache clean)

Hi @Korn Nope

The cancelation of Sync button on OneDrive online is by design.

Hi @Korn Nope

Thanks for your back.

What's the version of your OneDrive? Personal OneDrive or OneDrive for business?

Please take a screenshot of your Settings options.

If you go to OneDrive Settings > check whether there is "Return to classic OneDrive" in the lower left corner.

If yes, you may go to classic OneDrive and check whether there is "Sync" button.

Hi @Korn Nope

Sorry, the "Sync this OneDrive" button is available in OneDrive for Business. Personal OneDrive does not include this button.

For shared folders, I suggest you use "Add shortcut to My files" and then sync these shortcuts to local OneDrive folder.

Why have they removed the sync option from the personal (Family) onedrive? This is key reason for me having it. The "Add shortcut to My Files" is an absolute waste of time. Its completely pointless and useless. I don't want to work on my shared files in a web browser.
