I am writing an App that connects to directly to a OneDrive account (primary) via Microsoft Graph.
If that account (primary) has a shared folder to another OneDrive account (secondary), does Microsoft Graph connect directly (via the primary) to the shared folder on the secondary or does Microsoft Graph SYNC from the primary to the shared folder of the secondary ?
ie. should I connect (MS Graph) to each account (primary and secondary) so as to remove any syncing delays between shared folders ?
cheers

Which Azure AD workflow you're using?
I'm hardcoding through MS Graph to connect directly to a OneDrive account ... I just want to get away from any syncing like when you manage files on a OneDrive account through the Windows File Explorer ... but I think I answered my question because managing files (via MS Graph) in a shared folder (in the OneDrive account) would be like managing files through a shared folder or mapped drive on an ethernet network ... ie no syncing if the shared folder is on the same server system (the OneDrive cloud).
When I think about it more it makes sense that if you access a shared folder through a MS Graph connection then because the shared folder is already in the cloud (ie. on the server) then there isn't any syncing that happens.
Please ignore my question ... Thanx for you time.
