    That did not work for me. After it synced with 365 online it reverted back to the original name. Then I got an error message stating that I could only change it in Teams because it was the name of the channel. Well I created the sharepoint and didn't create a Teams channel so when I went to the Teams Channel to try to change the name I didn't have the option and received an error message to notify the admin. I am the admin. Sigh.

    Rename oneDrive folder

    I haven't tested recently but I don't believe you can rename the OneDrive folder. But you can move the entire OneDrive folder and place it into a manila folder which you can rename. I used to keep three OneDrives on an external drive. Each were kept in separate folders with unique names. They were linked to separate Microsoft accounts on the PC.

    Hello Jim Y,

    I'm Shalom and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

    To rename a folder in Microsoft OneDrive, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open OneDrive: Go to the OneDrive website or open the OneDrive application on your computer.
    2. Navigate to the Folder: Locate the folder you want to rename.
    3. Select the Folder: Click on the folder to select it.
    4. Rename the Folder: Right-click on the folder (or click the ellipsis icon (...) next to the folder name) and choose the "Rename" option.
    5. Enter New Name: Type in the new name for the folder and press Enter to save the changes.
    6. Verify: Make sure the folder has been renamed by checking its new name.
    7. Sync: If you're using the OneDrive application on your computer, it should automatically sync the changes. If you're using the web version, the changes will be reflected there as well.

    Best Regards, Shalom
