Thanks for this. I'm interested by what you say, Stephen and Jason, as I'm wondering if our setup is wrong or complicated.
We have it that each team member has their own OneDrive and we all then access the team SharePoint. That confused us at first, as we were used to GDrive where we all accessed one GDrive but with restrictions on who accessed which folders etc. Now, we each have all our own files on our own separate OneDrives. But for those folders and files that require shared access, they're stored and accessed separately on the organisations SharePoint. It's a pain and quite unintuitive. Is there a better way?! Regardless, sounds like SP sync needs turning off. That's a shame, as it's less about offline access but daily workflow, eg. saving an attachment from Mail to a SharePoint folder should be easy enough. Now, it seems best to save to desktop and drag and drop to SharPoint online via browser. Any tips?!
