Then, from the root of the folder, a button will appear labelled "Sync". Once clicked, OneDrive will open and create a link to the folder and synchronise the contents to your hard drive. The sync location will be separate to your personal OneDrive location, so, it is different to what you would expect compared to Dropbox.
Below is a screenshot showing the Sync button. The button only appears once you drill down into the folder structure. In this case, the folder Test2, is the one we will be syncrhonising with.
For Office 365 users, this is done via the office portal, via portal.office.com, navigating to the shared folder that was shared with you, and, drilling into the folder structure.
Although I'm a huge fan of Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive can be pretty nifty as well. In my view, however, sharing and synchronising folders in OneDrive is not that intuitive. The documentation at TechNet is a little unclear to me, so, I thought I'd share some tips here.
When folders are shared with you in OneDrive, by default, they are not synchronised with you. To do this, you need to add the folder location manually.
Once you click the button, your browser should redirect you to OneDrive, which will create a new OneDrive "location".
Enjoy!
