Greeting Experts

My organization has implemented Enterprise MS 365 for their user. They have assigned me 2 different one-drive accounts. one personal (under my account). Another one is for business use.

I linked both of them on my PC. but they are showing the same name which causes confusion as below.

How i can change the setting globally for all users to be as below:

Opt1 = "OneDrive - BusinessName - UserName"

Opt2 = "OneDrive - UserName"

Thanks

    Hi @Mohammad T. Hazazi

    For OneDrive for Business, here is a similar thread 'OneDrive and Org Name Change' you may have a look.

    Please follwo Himansukh Chauhan's steps, that modify the folder in .ini file to have a check.

    Capture51

    Then the OneDrive for Business folder will be renamed.

    Capture52

    For OneDrive for personal, the folder will shown as 'XXX - Persoanl'. Based on my test, we are unable to change this folder name.

    Your 2 OneDrive folders' names are similar. It seems that your OneDrive for personal folder is like a Buinsess folder. So you may also try the steps above to have a check, but not necessarily successful. Thanks for your understanding.
