If you spend lots of time on the road or work in places where there is no Internet connection (do places like this even exist these days?), you have a scenario where you need your files to be available in offline mode. Today I will be writing about a feature that I am not a particular fan off. However, lots of users are inquiring about this, so I would like to explain how it works as well as discuss its limitations. The feature I am talking about is OneDrive Sync. The idea is that you sync the whole SharePoint Document library to your computer, make changes on your desktop and all the changes automatically sync back to SharePoint when you have Internet Connection. How to Sync SharePoint Document Library with OneDrive To sync files on your computer is pretty easy and straightforward: • Go to the library you want to sync • Click on Sync button • If you don’t have OneDrive application installed on your machine, it will prompt you to download that software first.

The ability to sync SharePoint libraries via OneDrive for Business next generation sync client is still in development, we suggest you follow up on OneDrive blog or Office 365 roadmap for the latest updates.

You can easily differentiate between the 2 in your Desktop OneDrive for Business Folder. My Desktop OneDrive shows two “folders”: One that syncs my files and folders from my own OneDrive for Business account and one that syncs all SharePoint document libraries Sounds simple?

Kind of like DropBox, right? Let me explain and talk about the dark side of OneDrive for Business Sync and discuss its limitations Problems with SharePoint Document Library Sync with OneDrive • Sync conflicts. Unlike DropBox, which is primarily used for personal file storage, you are now syncing the whole SharePoint Document Library from a team or department site that many other users have access to modify at the same time (either online or offline).

That means that when you sync it, you will need to resolve sync conflicts (if 2 users modify same file). OneDrive will notify you of conflicts during sync and you will need to manually resolve this (and by the way – not a very user-friendly user experience). It is never a problem when you have your own personal DropBox or OneDrive folder, but once you get into multiple users situation – beware!
