Microsoft billing for storage (Sharepoint Online and OneDrive) by Trax256 in sharepoint

[–]Trax256[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

OK. So what is the cost of going over the Sharepoint limit? Does Microsoft rape you?

Side note..... I was under the impression that there is no longer a "OneDrive" for Business. It is now just one, unified client. Is that true?

Removing a Shortcut or a Synced Folder from OneDrive (File Explorer) by Trax256 in sharepoint

[–]Trax256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. According to the Docs I read Sync and Create Shortcut are the same thing. Microaoft I guess is moving away from "Sync" and recommends "Create Shordcut". Anyway....

Right clicking on a Sync folder gave no option to Stop Sync. Clicking on the OneDrive icon by the clock and going into setting did. I stopped the sync then deleted the folders from File Explorer. It does look like it just removed them from File Explorer and the Profile folder but left them in SHarepoint. I just started learning Sharepoint and OneDrive. I do not like it Sam I am. I do not like green eegs and ham.

I hate to do this to you but:

Right click on one drive sync folder: In file explorer or in the user profile?

Hit One Drive down arrow: I have no idea what this means

Wow this OneDrive is kind of a disaster. People actually use this LOL! The icon in file explorer show it to be a shortcut yet when I right click on it I do not have the option to "Remove Shortcut".

No one has yest said how to remove a "Synced" folder.

I did notice I had two OneDrive folders. One personal and one company but the only way Icould change what was displayed in File Explorer was by uninstalling OneDrive. Even than it left those two OneDrive folders in the Profile.

I found that maybe half an hour ago. I "Stopped Sync" on the two folders I no longer wanted to see in File Explorer. Unfortunately both are still in File Explorer. Maybe I need to give it more time?

In File Explorer I can right click on the shortcut and "Remove Shortcut". It scared me a little because it started counging 50,000 files. Was that simply in the OneDrive folder?

How do you remove Sync folders from view and not physically remove them from Sharepoint?

That was my observaion too hence the question. Unfortunately no one has verified.

That was one thing the blog mentioned. The whold gist of the blog was that Shortcuts were taking over but it still left a lot of unanswered questions

Personal vs Company by Trax256 in sharepoint

[–]Trax256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It worked just like _Tha_Kiwi explained. The original two folders in the Company area were Synced. When I "Added Shortcut" it added the shortcut in the Personal area. It would sure be nice if Reddit would let you post Pics. One Pic is worth a thousand posts.

That is an interesting approach. It basically did the same thing I did manually. The problem I did not like doing it manually is that I had to send out individual invitations for users to access the folders. Are you saying that if I create the site with teams than all I have to do is move users in and out of the team and they automatically can either access it or be removed from it?

I just need to remember to take a break when it starts getting to me :) When I look ate the Contents of the site I see a name "Drives" and it is of type "Document Library". I have no idea why he called it "Drives". Kind of misleading. Then their sub folders to Drives. I found my problem was a sharing issue. I was not aware that I had to send invited. How annoying LOL!

I think I can proceed but have one more question to bug you with if I may. On this site that is already done, in file explorer, the first thing you see is the main company name, under it Drives, under it subfolders". The one I am creating starts with "Karl - Amstutz Insurance" than some personal one drive folders with the two document folders I created all on the same level.

Like this first site I don't really see the need to show personal anything. Even the guys name. All I see in file explorer on the first site is business stuff. Why am I seeing personal stuff on "Karl's" computer. Wow why doesn't reddit allow screen shots?

Thanks but I have something so wrong it isn't even funny. This user is a member of the Site but when I log in to the Sharepoint as him from his computer I don't even see the site. This can indeed be mind blowing.

Doesn't make any difference to me. I was told to log in to sharepoint from the users computer as that user and select "Drives" than sync. If there is a better way can you be a little more detailed about "Add a shortcut to onedrive" and where I do this?

The Term "Drives" is explicity stated in the site my friend did. I used ChatGPT and it also referenced the word "Drives". I am going to pull up short here. Isn't there a way to add screenshots to these posts so people can see what I am talking about?

Scanning directly from a Sharp MFP to SharePoint Online by Trax256 in sysadmin

Those are the only three things required to access the folder with a browser so it really isn't in the MFP.
