SharePoint and One-drive Integration and Administration

Businesses have very different approaches to data sharing among users: Some love the idea of a single portal to shared files, while others hate it. Plus, SharePoint can be more than a project file repository (it’s also meant to support discussions and workflow via project websites), and other value becomes invisible when accessed via OneDrive.

Windows’ File Explorer provides native sync access to both corporate and personal OneDrive files, so they’re simply part of the standard Windows file system. The updated OneDrive for Business client (formerly known as Groove.exe) extends that syncing to SharePoint. In Windows 10, the client will auto-update when users access OneDrive for Business files, though admins can also manage its rollout instead of that automatic updating. In previous Windows versions, IT or users need to update the client.

Windows is the easiest case: Enable SharePoint syncing for OneDrive in your Office 365 console and update OneDrive on your clients, then your users can sync files for whatever accounts they have.

You can also use OneDrive app from the Windows Store to sync SharePoint, corporate OneDrive, and personal OneDrive files. The use of the app instead of (or in addition to) the File Explorer provides a familiar user experience for those who also use OneDrive on other platforms. I also find the OneDrive app much easier to use than the extremely dated File Explorer interface.

Set up syncing

1. On the Office 365 app launcher, select SharePoint, and then select the site with the files you want to sync.
2. Click Documents or navigate to the sub folder you want to sync.
3. Click Sync. (You only need to do this once on a computer to set up syncing on that computer. After you set up syncing, the files sync automatically.)
4. If your browser requests permission to use "Microsoft OneDrive," confirm that this is okay.
5. Choose the folders that you want to sync, and then click OK.
6. The files will sync to a folder on your PC that has the name of your organization . This folder is automatically added to the left pane in File Explorer. You can’t select to sync to a different location.
7. To sync the files on another computer, go to that computer and follow the steps again.

How to add a user as a Site Collection administrator - SharePoint 2013:

1. Connect to the Central Administration
2. Change Site Collection Administrator
3. Select the ODFB Site collection
4. Change the primary or secondary site collection administrator
5. Repeat for every single user

How to add a user as a Site Collection administrator - Office 365:

1. Connect to the SharePoint admin center
2. Select User Profile, then Manage User Profiles
3. Find a profile
4. Manage Site Collection Owners
5. Change the primary or secondary site collection administrator
6. Repeat for every single user

The most basic move is to change the Site Collection administrator directly from the central administration for every single user. Connect to the central administration, then select "Change Site Collection Administrator" from the "Application Management" menu.

You can find them easily because the URL always contains my/personal. On my virtual machine, I can see them on the top of the list when I click on "Change Site Collection".

In Office 365, you first need to connect to your SharePoint administration, then select the "Manage User Profiles" option from the "User Profiles" menu.

Then, you can search the users who have activated their profile using the find option. You need to know their name to be able to search. There’s no complete list where you can see all of them. Once you have a user profile, you will find a tiny little arrow that allows you to manage Site Collection owners. Similarly to On-Premises, you can change primary and secondary administrator.

And then you have to repeat the same operation for all user profiles.
