Files On-Demand helps you save storage space on your users' computers, and minimize the network impact of sync. The feature is available to users running Windows 10 Fall Creators update version or later.

We recommend keeping Files On-Demand enabled. If you enable this setting, new users who set up the sync app see online-only files in File Explorer, by default.

File contents don't download until a file is opened. If you disable this setting, Windows 10 users have the same sync behavior as users of previous versions of Windows, and aren't able to turn on Files On-Demand.

Do not enable this setting for libraries with more than 5, files or folders. Do not enable this setting for the same library to more than 1, devices. If you enable this setting, the OneDrive sync app automatically syncs the contents of the libraries you specified as online-only files the next time the user signs in. The user isn't able to stop syncing the libraries.

If you disable this setting, team site libraries that you've specified aren't automatically synced for new users.

To find the library ID, sign in as a global or SharePoint admin in Microsoft , browse to the library, and select Sync. In the Starting sync dialog, select the Copy library ID link.

OneDrive does not automatically pause syncing. Such as. The trouble at present is that many users in the companies don't know how to sync libraries' contents from their companies' SharePoint sites to their computers.

You need to help them do these mechanic steps every day from time to time. The premise is the customer companies have their own IT admins, each users' computers are controlled by their companies' IT admin.

IT admin can use Group Policy to control their users' computers. Our goal is to let these IT admins in the customer companies know how to use Group Policy to configure SharePoint libraries to be synced automatically after their users signed into the OneDrive sync client.

Please check the information above and tell me whether we can move forward. I will provide detailed steps if we can r each a consensus. You're exactly on point. Also, our customers they don't have internal IT admins so we're the one responsible of mainting everything. We have access to all our customers infrastructure including Azure, O, documentation, clients etc. So I guess we can move forward toward a solution you suggest :- Thank you for putting time into this. Hi Dany, I may need to explain more clearly, the IT admins referred in the last reply mean internal admin's in every company who can use their local group policy to control their users' computers, not via remoting to control their users' computers like you are doing.

I can understand that you have full control of all companies' Office tenants, but this means you can control their Office related online services but not their local infrastructure. The internal IT admin may not the Office admin in a company, but most companies should have at least one internal IT admin to control their user's computer from local, these internal IT admins are the premise to achieve our automated goal.

Do you mean all the companies don't have the internal IT admin? They don't have any internal IT staff to manage and maintain their companies computers? Hoping I explained clear this time. We indeed need to make sure there have an IT staff works in every company then we can move forward. Hello I've been trying to find a way to automatically get SharePoint folders synchronized on Azure users. I have the same question 1.
