With Microsoft SharePoint Online and SharePoint Online you
can get files in both SharePoint libraries and OneDrive
for Business to synchronize automatically to your PC. Do
it manually the first time, and OneDrive for Business will
handle it automatically the next time you are connected
to the SharePoint site.
The demo below describes synchronization of a SharePoint
library using the OneDrive for Business sync app, but sync
of OneDrive for Business works in the same way.
Microsoft has given us two sync buttons, one under the library
tab and one at the top right of the screen.
The right hand button gives you an extra dialog with a direct
link to download of OneDrive for Business, in case you don't
have it installed on your PC.
You may synchronize any already existing SharePoint document
libraries. Below are the steps for creating a new library
and a new subsite.
New library
Open the Site Contents from the Quick Launch or
via the Settings wheel.
Add a document library app to the new subsite.
Give the new library a name.
Open the library.
Click on the top right sync button, see image above.
Download and install OneDrive for Business if it
is not already installed on your device. If you already
have OneDrive for Business installed, press "Sync now"
to synchronize.
New subsite
Open the Site Contents and create a new subsite.
Give the subsite a name and an URL.
If you want to restrict access to the
new subsite, select the option use unique permissions
when you enter
the details in the creation dialog.
The new subsite automatically gets one document
library. Use it, or create another library, see above.
Open the document you want to synch.
Press the top right sync button.
Download and install OneDrive for Business if it
is not already installed on your device. If you already
have OneDrive for Business installed, press "Sync now"
to synchronize.
Open the Site Contents and create a new subsite.
