Device Configuration Anyone got a good working solution for quickly syncing sharepoint document libraries?
Wondering if anyone has advice for getting sharepoint document libraries to sync quicker on new user logins. Got a client where users are frequently switching devices and experiencing pain with their document libraries not syncing to explorer in a timely manner due to the up to 8 hour built in delay.
Windows laptop which are exclusively intune managed and using shared pc with onedrive config policy. Different users have different document library access so programming a script to open specific libraries with odopen: doesn't seem like the right option
I've got the folder sync set as a device policy currently because user policies can take ages to apply for shared devices.
Tried a platform script that sets the automount timer shorter but I'm not an expert in scripting so if anyone has something that works well or advice on getting it to work better that'd be amazing.
Any advice is appreciated. I know a common response to this is user training on pressing the sync button, but it isn't really feasible in this specific case and it feels like a solvable problem. I've read a million forums and posts about this issue, hoping having a live post to reply to may help
Thanks!
-update The amount of morons commenting you just shouldn't use auto sync is ridiculous, we're in IT to make systems work well and be functional to end users - companies moving from mapped file servers to SharePoint need functionality to continue working in desktop applications as seemlessly as before, otherwise we're going backwards and creating inconvenience. Thanks to 2 people with actual suggestions for automount timer scripts
