Onedrive for Business synch problems

First of all, all those users (admin + all standard users) of course need an individual Office 365 / Azure AD account. Assuming they are not using computers for private stuff and therefore personal standard OneDrive is not set up on computers, this is a simplified explanation about the process.

By default each O365 Business / Enterprise user has a folder called Shared with Everyone on their OneDrive for Business. Also by default this folder is already shared with everyone in the organisation:




Everything the admin user (or any other user) wants to share with everyone else within the organisation should be placed here. All users can access the shared content from left pane of the web UI and move content to any of their personal folders:




Each individual user needs then install Office software (Sign in to your account). This will also install the OneDrive client:




OneDrive icon is shown in notification area of the Taskbar, it can be grey (OneDrive not set up), white (personal OneDrive) or in this case blue (OneDrive for Business):




Now each user simply right clicks the OneDrive icon and selects Settings, then Choose folders to select which folders they want to sync to local computer:




The admin user of course selects the Shared with Everyone folder to be synced; everything he / she then saves in this folder will automatically be shared with everyone else, everything removed from this folder will no longer be shared:




In fact it's not complicated. OneDrive for Business works surprisingly well, making sharing within organisation easy.

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

OneDrive synch keeps re-synching large file.

Thank you for your reply. However, I do want these files to be synched to the cloud with OneDrive. The problem that I am having is that they synch over and over again.

I did try Pedro's usggestion, which seemed to work, but the problem still persists.

For example, I have synched 5 video files overnight. This worked, in that I can open and run the files from another user, who shares my OneDrive folder.

However, the notification panel that I see bottom picture below ("Synching 6 files" - I can't get the pictures in the correct order for some reason). So OneDrive has synched the files and then stopped without actually completing in someway.

If I then stop OneDrive and restart it, or restart the computer, OneDrive starts synching those files again. This can then repeat itself when they complete synching.

I tried Pedro's suggestion, but the files he suggested I delete were not there.

When I restart, synch starts again ans show in the top pictire (Synching 7 files)
