  1. Delete another user's local sync OneDrive/Sharepoint files


    Hi,

    Prior to me using this computer, my colleague was using it (lets call him Bob). We are all network users but of course it creates local profile and stores data in c:\Users\Bob. Bob is gone now. So I have removed him as a user on this computer, in order to free up space. Everything in the C:\Users\Bob directory has been deleted, except for the OneDrive and Sharepoint directories where he had synced some folders. When I try to delete them, I get the "0x8007016A: The cloud file provider is not running" error. Any suggestions on how to delete them? Also, deleting the locally sync'd sharepoint files from a removed user better not delete them from the cloud!

    Thanks,

    :)

  3. One OneDrive/SharePoint folder for multiple Windows User Accounts

    Is it possible to sync a OneDrive/SharePoint folder to C:\Share\ (for example) and then have multiple user accounts use that same C:\Share\ as their sync location?

    I understand this will not work well with multiple OneDrive accounts, but in this case all the multiple users will be syncing the same OneDrive/SharePoint from their individual Windows User Accounts.

    Doing this will prevent the same files from being downloaded to the same hard disk on this shared computer.

    Thank you.

    SharePoint 2013 and Outlook

    Hi Gloria,

    We do understand that you want to work on your documents coming from SharePoint to Outlook. However, it is not possible to attach the files by default SharePoint as a copy. A connection is established between Outlook and SharePoint, when
    we attach a file they are attached from a cloud location and that’s why the files are attached as a link rather than a copy.

    Here's a workaround, you can first try to sync the SharePoint files on your system
    locally and then browse the local folder to attach them directly as a file. To sync the files to your system, you have to use the OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client. You can check this
    article
    for a detailed steps on how to install the sync client and how to sync the SharePoint and OneDrive files.

    Regards.
