    Hi @Novas Nov ,

    You can Unsync SharePoint Folder from File Explorer:

    Step 1. Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the Window system tray or Mac menu bar and select "Settings".

    Open OneDrive Settings

    Step 2. Go to the "Account" tab, and click on "Stop sync" next to the SharePoint folder you want to unsync.

    Hello, I don't understand the answer, I need to install it on several workstations and I can't figure out how a scheduled task can help me put it on several workstations. It's easier with a gpo, isn't it?
