In folder X1 in File Explorer, can you create a shared subfolder named X that syncs with a folder also named X in my employer’s SharePoint?

How do I allow syncing android Samsung gallery to one drive but when I then delete photos from my phone I get a warning that they will be deleted from my one drive? It didn't use to do this but had lately...Google and tried to delete from "my files" from phone but for the same warning msg... thank you!

My notability app is synced with OneDrive. My computer is saying I am out of OneDrive space for my notability app and I can no longer save word documents. Can you help me figure out how to remedy this? Thank you!

[@Wookierabbit]

Can you sync other folders besides the standard defaults?

[@BulbDigital]

You can use OneDrive sync for any folder and library in SharePoint. However, they will not be integrated into standard Windows folders like Desktop, Documents etc.

Thank you. How long can the overall sync take? I recently updated from windows 10 to 11... and onedrive has been synching by default basically everything (documents, pictures, video, music...)... and it's still working on it since 3 days now... 🤯. Is that pretty common or something is definitely wrong on my system?

[@BulbDigital]

The length of time will depend on how much it is trying to sync. I would check out what files are currently being synced using the OneDrive icon in your System Tray.

What hapoens if 2 people are working offline on the same file? When they both synch qhat happens? Is a diolicate copy crrated?

[@BulbDigital]

I believe that whichever user syncs their changes to the file first create a new major version of the file. When the second users' changes are synced after this it again creates another major version.
If both changes don't overlap in the file, then you would have updates from both users.

Very informative. The background "music" needs to be LOWER so its not competing with his talking. It was too loud and distracting.

[@BulbDigital]

Thanks for the feedback! We’ve changed our approach to music tracks since this video posted.

7:40 OneDrive synching is not totally perfect!

[@BulbDigital]

Louder for the people in the back! 😅😅😅

[@deniselong9361]

too fast!! I'm still lost

[@BulbDigital]

Sorry to hear that -- We always write up our video scripts into a blog if that's more helpful! www.bulb.digital/blog/syncing-in-a-cinch-with-onedrive

[@QuantumMango]

I agree. You talk and move so fast that this video is useless in showing what someone should actually do to synch a folder.
