Hi all,
Here my case:
When my users "Sync" Sharepoint to their PC , the path will be : "Forwarding and shipping joint stock company ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST\bla bla bla..."
"Forwarding and shipping joint stock company ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST" is the invoice name of us.
May I change/shorten the path ? How to ?
Does it affect our bill payment ?
Does it affect our users who have synced Sharepoint to their PC ?

    Hi @Jack Chuong ,

    By default, Microsoft OneDrive for work or school syncs SharePoint in Microsoft 365 libraries in folders under your Windows “User” folder, for example: C:\Users\username\

    When you sync your OneDrive library, your files are placed in a folder named “OneDrive @CompanyName” if the library is hosted on SharePoint in Microsoft 365, and “OneDrive” if the library is hosted on a corporate SharePoint server. If you sync libraries on other sites, OneDrive creates folders for them using their library names, and places these folders in a folder name “SharePoint.”

    You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you’re not currently syncing any libraries. If you’re already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive wizard to sync a library to your computer, you’ll see an option to change the location.

    I have found this article to reference you about Change the location where you sync SharePoint libraries on your computer. Hope it could help you!
