Introduction
If your organization has a Microsoft 365 work or school subscription or uses SharePoint Server 2019 and Teams, you can sync your Microsoft SharePoint and Teams files to a folder on your computer. This lets you work directly in File Explorer and access files even when you’re offline. And when you go back online, any changes made to those files will sync automatically.
In this blog we are providing the steps to enable sync to OneDrive for your account.
