Answer 1

Hi @Zoey Liang,

Thank you for posting in this community.

1.Hide the Sync button.

Please click on the gear in the upper right corner ->Library Settings->More library settings->Advanced settings->set Offline Client Availability to no.

2.Add a shortcut to Onedrive.

I noticed that you already have a shortcut to OneDrive button in your document library.

According to this article, this feature isn't available for individual files. Only can add a shortcut for folders.

The method of adding A is also provided here for your reference:

You can use PowerShell script to enable the Add shortcut to OneDrive feature.
If you are new to SharePoint Online Management Shell, you can refer to this article for a quick start:

Get started with SharePoint Online Management Shell

Here is the PowerShell script:

#Connect to your SharePoint Online
Connect-SPOService "https://yourdomain-admin.sharepoint.com"
 
#Disable "Add Shortcut to OneDrive"
Set-SPOTenant -DisableAddShortCutsToOneDrive $False
