In video 4 of our OneDrive and SharePoint series, we cover the alternative (and often recommended) way to access SharePoint files on your computer: adding a SharePoint shortcut to OneDrive. This method is ideal if you work with lots of SharePoint sites or very large files, because it reduces sync overhead and keeps everything organised in one place.
You’ll learn how to add a document library shortcut from SharePoint into OneDrive, what it looks like in both the browser and File Explorer/Finder, and why you can’t use shortcuts and full sync on the same library at the same time. We also show the correct and safe way to remove shortcuts, and the key mistake to avoid (deleting from File Explorer, which would delete the SharePoint data).
