@icchalmers I am also surprised that this did not come up in the 9 odd months that the feature was a PR before inclusion into the main codebase - I guess not enough end user testing & feedback! |

@icchalmers Example: Online Folder State Example: Windows Folder State Example: Local Linux Folder State Sync Process: A rename of a folder online, triggers a rename locally: If you could review the above and provide feedback that would be greatly appreciated. When onedrive v2.5.0-alpha-1 also lands, if you could please help test that would also be greatly appreciated. |

Thanks for implementing this @abraunegg. My only feedback is that it would be good if the extra step of needing to add shortcuts via the web interface could be avoided. I'm guessing that's easier said that done though, and as implemented will certainly get the job done. I'm afraid I can't help with testing. I've since moved jobs and no longer have OneDrive Business, or even a box running Linux to test it on! Thank you for your continued long-term support of OneDrive on Linux. |

I use OneDrive Business Shared Folders. When a folder is shared with me, in Windows the shares are stored in a separate OneDrive folder and the folder names are contextualised by including the name of the person who created the share e.g.
{MyHomeDir}/OneDriveand{myhomedir}/OneDrive - {BusinessName}/{share user name} - {shared folder name}.The current OneDrive Linux client simply drops
{shared folder name}straight into my personal OneDrive folder. This makes it hard to organise, lacks context for who shared which folder and has naming conflicts if two different users share a folder of the same name e.g. two students share a folder called "4th year project".Describe the solution you'd like
It would be good if in the default behaviour was closer to the Windows client i.e.
{homedir}/OneDrive-{BusinessName}/{share user name} - {shared folder name}was used as the storage location for each share.Additionally it would be nice if I could redirect the shared folder to appear internal to my own OneDrive e.g.
{homedir}/OneDrive/SharedWithMe/{user}/{shared folders}.Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered trying to setup two instances of the OneDrive client and apply selective sync to each instance. While this would make shares external to my "personal" OneDrive folder, it would require me to create a new instance for every single user who shared a folder with me.
Additional context
If this functionality is already supported, it isn't documented in BusinessSharedFolders.md.
