Sync folder vs. Sync Library in SharePoint and OneDrive

💻 STILL NEED HELP?

We disabled sync and advise on using the add shortcut to onedrive option. Better performance and is persistent across devices.

MS should prevent or at least warn when you sync the library if you have already synced folders from that library.

Is it possible to share/sync a specific folder to more than one SharePoint site? We provide payroll services and want to create a team's site with the client company to collaborate and to give them access to the payroll reports (current and history) that we save on our main Documents Library.

I don’t personally use sync, I was just getting so many issues it just wasn’t worth it, and will add shortcuts to OD if I really need to. What do you personally think of Sync to OneDrive Greg?

This would be a great idea except that OneDrive has major performance issues when it comes to syncing large libraries.

Isn't Microsoft going to phase out synching, and instead advise users to use shortcuts?
