• What’s New with OneDrive in SharePoint Server 2019 Last year at Ignite we announced that SharePoint Server 2019 was coming and with it, an updated experience for OneDrive on-premise users, including support for the latest OneDrive sync client.
• Today I have problems to sync SharePoint sites with the new OneDrive for Mac. The first configuration of OneDrive and SharePoint site was OK. Now I’d like to add a new SharePoint site and when I click on “Sync now” on the SharePoint site, the system ask me to launch the Windows version of OneDrive!!!

There are 3 deployment modes of SharePoint i.e., on-premises, cloud, and hybrid. And, each of these modes has a comprehensive set of pricing models and make SharePoint an ideal for all size of businesses. A Detailed Comparison Between SharePoint and OneDrive. In order to know clear about SharePoint Vs OneDrive difference, refer the table given. OneDrive For Business won't sync 'Sharepoint on-premise folders' Hello! I need to resync OneDrive for Business on an employee's PC because it had stopped working.

We’ve recently seen a rapid increase in the adoption of OneDrive for Business (formerly SkyDrive Pro). Driven by the need for easy mobile document access, Microsoft is seeking to keep pace with the box and dropbox functionality. We are also seeing an increase in Office 365 OneDrive adoption even when the company has On-Premises SharePoint environments.

What!? So you are telling me that companies with On-Premises SharePoint 2013 are using a hybrid of on-premises intranet and Office 365 Personal Sites/OneDrives? Yes. The primary reason for this is the availability of the OneDrive for Business app available for mobile devices. On-Premises MySites do not have an equivalent app available to sync personal documents.

Rather than continuing to fight the battle of forcing folks to immediately move their entire intranet into Office 365, Microsoft has settled for a best-of-both-worlds compromise.

The On-premises version of SharePoint 2013 with Service Pack 1 applied allows you to configure a couple of new Office 365 options. The first is Yammer integration and the second is to configure OneDrive and Sites links! While I don’t want to get into Yammer integration in this blog, I will cover a brief walk through of how to “Configure OneDrive and Sites links”. Please note, this setting requires that the User Profile Application is available prior to being able to set up this redirect.

First you will want to load Central Administration on your On-Premises SharePoint 2013 environment. Notice the “Office 365” link now available in the left side navigation. Select Office 365.

You will be presented with two options. Select “Configure OneDrive and Sites links”

IF you see this error message – make sure you have configured the User Profile service application and have associated it under Application Management > Configure service application associations. (note: I have had instances where I had to remove and re-add the User Profile Service from the default associations list in order for this message to go away)

Sorry, something went wrong

No User Profile Application available to service the request. Contact your farm administrator.

If everything is set up correctly, you will see this page:

Hopefully at this point you have already signed up for Office 365 and assigned licenses. If you haven’t, follow the links provided in Central Administration at the top of the Configure One Drive page.

Now, we need to take a quick side bar – you’ll notice at the bottom that an audience is optional. You can create an audience so that you can choose which users to redirect, it does not have to be all of your SharePoint users.

To do this you’ll need to go back into your User Profiles and configure Audiences.

Navigate to Central Administration > Manage Service Applications > User Profile Service > Manage Audiences

Create a new Audience

Name the Audience – for example, OneDrive Users; Set an Owner and Click OK

Select the property that makes sense based on the User Base that you want to redirect to Office 365 OneDrive. For example, where The Property Department = Sales.

Compile the Audience and then View the membership from the screen provided.

At this point, configuration is easy. Go back into Office 365 > Configure OneDrive and Sites links

Add your Office 365 MySite URL and the audience you desire and click OK. If you would also like to redirect your “Sites” page to Office 365, you can do that by selecting the “Redirect the Sites page” box here as well.

For those that aren’t familiar with the “Sites” page – you can find the link in the upper right hand corner of your SharePoint site and it looks similar to this:

Configuring your On-premises SharePoint 2013 environment to redirect to OneDrive is quick and painless. By redirecting targeted employees to Office 365, you can utilize the best of your secure intranet in combination with the mobile access users love.

Onedrive For Business Mac Sharepoint On Premise Windows 10

When you deploy SharePoint Server 2019 in your organization, your users can sync their OneDrive files as well as SharePoint team site files by using the new OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) for Windows or Mac. Compared with the previous OneDrive sync app (Groove.exe), the new sync app provides:

• Improved performance and reliability
• Files On-Demand
• Support for larger files
• Higher sync limits
• The ability to silently deploy. If your Windows users are already syncing document libraries with the previous OneDrive sync app, they will transition to the new sync app automatically.
• Mac support

Requirements

1. Install SharePoint Server 2019.

2. Install the OneDrive sync app (download). For deployment info, see:

3. Configure OneDrive for SharePoint Server 2019.

Recommendations

1. Allow WNS Traffic

For the best user experience, SharePoint Server 2019 will send change notifications to sync clients via WNS web push notifications. This feature ensures sync users quickly have the latest copies of any SharePoint Server file updates. You may need to take steps to ensure outbound requests from your SharePoint Server and your user's sync client computers can reach and properly interact with the WNS service.

For SharePoint Server:

• Allow outbound HTTPS connection to reach *.notify.windows.com

For OneDrive Sync client computers:

• Allow outbound TLS encrypted TCP/IP socket connection to reach *.wns.windows.com
• Avoid HTTPS decryption for *.wns.windows.com on your proxy server as this likely will disconnect the socket connection.

If either the SharePoint Server or the OneDrive sync client is unable to communicate with the WNS service then the sync client will fall back to polling the SharePoint Server roughly every two minutes looking for changes. As a result, your users may see delays of more than two minutes from the time of a server change to when the sync client downloads the changed file.

2. Opt-in to Sharing Improvement Information

When configuring the SharePoint server you have the option to enable sharing of improvement information with Microsoft. Enabling this opts connected sync clients into sending troubleshooting information. This allows the sync client team to proactively detect and correct problems, respond to customer reported problems, and improve the product over time. If this is disabled, customer escalations are harder to investigate and will require the customer to manually gather and provide logs from the impacted sync client machines.

Configure OneDrive for SharePoint Server 2019

To set up OneDrive with SharePoint Server 2019, you can either use Group Policy or set the registry keys directly.

Note

For settings that require an organization ID, if you sync a single domain, you can use OP1. Do not use this if you sync multiple domains.

The Known Folder Move settings don't work for SharePoint Server.

Using Group Policy

Configure the following two Group Policy objects to configure OneDrive to be used with SharePoint 2019:

Specify SharePoint Server URL and organization name

The URL (SharePointOnPremFrontDoorUrl) is used by the sync app to authenticate the user and to set up syncing of the user's SharePoint Server hosted personal OneDrive site.The organization name (SharePointOnPremTenantName) lets you specify the name of the root folder that will be created in File Explorer. If you don't supply an organization name, the sync app will use the first segment of the URL as the name. For example, office.sharepoint.com would create the folder 'office'.

Specify the OneDrive location in a hybrid environment

This setting (SharePointOnPremPrioritization) lets you specify if the sync app should first set up a sync relationship with SharePoint in Microsoft 365 (the default) or the SharePoint on-premises server if the user identity exists in both identity providers. The sync application's Settings dialog can be used to 'Add Account' the same identity for the other SharePoint realm after the first has been configured (if the user identity exists in both).

You should be able to find these Group Policy objects using the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) when navigating to Computer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesOneDrive. If the OneDrive folder is not present, you can add the OneDrive Group Policy template by copying the following two files from the OneDrive installation folder after you have installed the latest OneDrive sync app on that computer:

• C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalMicrosoftOneDriveonedrivesyncclientversionadmOneDrive.admxtoC:WindowsPolicyDefinitionsOneDrive.admx
• C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalMicrosoftOneDriveonedrivesyncclientversionadmOneDrive.admltoC:WindowsPolicyDefinitionsen-USOneDrive.adml

To automate this copying using PowerShell, you could use:

By setting the registry keys

Alternatively, you can also directly configure the following underlying registry keys:

Differences between syncing files in SharePoint Server and SharePoint in Microsoft 365

If your organization also uses the OneDrive sync app to sync files in Microsoft 365, here's what will be different for users who sync on-premises files.

Single Top-level URL

If you have deployed multiple on-premises SharePoint Server farms in your enterprise, on a given client computer, you will only specify a single 'SharePointOnPremFrontDoorUrl'. For a given user, you should configure their computer with the SharePoint Server URL that hosts their individual OneDrive site or if they don't have a OneDrive site, where the team sites they are most likely to sync are hosted. Your users will be able to start syncing team site content from any of your on-premises SharePoint Server farms by navigating to the web experience of the Team Site and clicking the Sync button on that site.

Onedrive For Business Mac Sharepoint On Premise Windows 7

For example, you have a SharePoint Server farm for your Finance department and another for the rest of your company. Users who are members of the Finance department have their individual OneDrive site hosted on the Finance department's SharePoint Server farm. For those Finance employees, you use your computer management system to set the SharePointOnPremFrontDoorUrl registry key policy on their computer to have your Finance specific farm's URL. For all other employees, you set the SharePointOnPremFrontDoorUrl to your other SharePoint Server farm URL. The sync client will look for and provision on-demand as needed, the user's OneDrive site on the appropriate SharePoint Server farm.

Folder names

The OneDrive sync app creates the following folders on users' computers:OneDrive – Contoso (for syncing personal My Site files)Contoso (for syncing SharePoint team site files)

In SharePoint in Microsoft 365, 'Contoso' is the tenant name that has been set for the SharePoint in Microsoft 365 instance. In SharePoint on-premises, there is no tenant name associated to the instance of SharePoint. You can set the this with the 'Specify SharePoint Server URL and organization name' group policy, or the sync app will use the first segment of your SharePoint URL.

File thumbnails and previews

Thumbnails don't appear in File Explorer for files synced from SharePoint on-premises. If you enable Files On-Demand, and a file is online-only, a file preview won't be available. Image files and Office files will not have a thumbnail in File Explorer until the file is downloaded.

Sharing from File Explorer

When users share files and folders from File Explorer, the sharing option will open the browser instead of the Share dialog.

Privacy settings

When setting up SharePoint Server, you'll be prompted to select if clients should send error reports and usage statistics back to Microsoft. If you enable the setting, individual users can opt out by following these steps:
