OneDrive: Set a custom name for the OneDrive sync folder Beta
Data as of 2 hours ago (9 September 2026)
Description
IT admins can now customize the local OneDrive sync root folder name on users' Windows computers. By default, the folder is named "OneDrive - {organization name}," which can consume valuable path length for deeply nested files and folders. With this new policy, admins can set a shorter, organization-specific folder name — reducing path length issues and giving users a cleaner file system experience.
