Syncing group folders

Question

I have been added to a couple of groups at work. I would like to be able to synchronize the group folders with my PC but I can't figure out how to do so. OneDrive shows (see below) that I'm syncing one location. How do I add others?

Answer 1

Hi Kevin,

You should refer to Office 365 Group, which is normally accessed from the left navigation pane of OneDrive for Business or Outlook.

For this scenario, please click the Sync button on the ribbon, and it will trigger the OneDrive for Business legacy sync client (It’s different from the OneDrive client you’re currently using) to sync the document library. If the legacy sync client is not installed, you will be brought to a page to download it.

 

Note: If you click the group name from Outlook, please click Files on the ribbon to get to the above library page.

 

According to your screenshot, you’re currently using the OneDrive for Business next generation sync client. Which OneDrive sync client am I using?

It’s not supported to use the next generation sync client to sync SharePoint document libraries, including Office 365 groups. However, it is already in development.

Hi Andy,

We need to monitor the Office 365 Roadmap manually to get the latest update.

Answer 3

Dear Jiaxing ,

how can we be alerted that this is implemented?

I would love to add groups to my Onedrive for business folder on my pc.

Thanks,

Andy

Thanks. I'll wait for the new version to be updated to support Groups. I had far too many problems with the old version.
