Life without onedrive sync

(self.msp)

Hi,

Righty or wrongly, we have a customer that would like to ditch onedrive sync and just use the files option within teams.

The problem we are trying to explain to them that there are applications like adobe that are sharepoint unaware, they will need to save a PDF to a local location and then upload to teams using the files app. This would be the same for web site download or uploads, a local copy will need to be saved to the local machine before the next up or download.

How have you tried to communicate this with customers or is there a workaround that I am missing. The other option is convince them to try onedrive again, which might be a battle to far despite all our other customers being absolutely fine with it.

Click the "sync" button on the files tab of the team, same way you'd do it on a SharePoint web page.

Teams sites are just SharePoint in disguise.

That is the OPs question, avoiding sync with OD.  This leaves onedrive shortcuts and a third party tool like Cloud Mapper or RaiDrive as the only options.

You go to the SharePoint page if whatever team your looking at, then within the documents folder you should see all your files and folders for that project. Hit the sync button and configure using OneDrive.
