Sync SharePoint (Teams) Files and Folders
Set up Sync for your library
We recommend using OneDrive shortcuts as the more versatile option when available.
If you need to use the sync button:
- In your browser, on your SharePoint site, navigate to the library of files you want to sync with.
- Select Sync in the toolbar.
Note: If your browser asks for permission to use OneDrive, confirm that it's OK.
- Sign in to OneDrive to start syncing your files and finish OneDrive setup.
Work with your files in your file system
- Once synced, your SharePoint files appear in File Explorer under the name of your organization (or in Mac Finder, if you're using a Mac).
- Each location will appear in a separate subfolder.
- Copy or move files from your computer to SharePoint right from your file system.
- To check the status of your files, add an account, or manage other sync settings, select the blue OneDrive cloud icon in the Windows notification area.
Work with files in Files On-Demand
After Files On-Demand is turned on, you’ll see new status icons next to each of your SharePoint files. You can copy or move files from your computer to SharePoint right from your file system.
