Syncing SharePoint docs/Libraries to File Explore for entire Org

Question

Hello everyone,

Goal: Show SharePoint libraries in File Explore for the entire org.

I am aware of and have successfully synced files from within Teams to and have that "channel" appears in my File Explorer.

I need to do the same for about 10 channels for my entire org.. over 90 users. The idea of having to touch each user's machine to do this frightens me.

Secondly, would your proposed solution work on Apple OS as well?

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Dear JustMeMPH1058,

We read your description and it seems you want to sync SharePoint Libraries to File explorer for the entire Organization of over 90 users.

Yes. It is possible for Windows Computers. This can be achieved by using OneDrive Group Policy objects (GPOs) that admins can configure by using Group Policy, on Windows: Please refer to this article for detailed information: Deploy OneDrive apps using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager - OneDrive | Microsoft Docs

For Mac, we're sorry to say that it is not possible to automatically sync SharePoint Libraries to File explorer for the entire Organization. We do understand the inconvenience and apologize for it.
