You can sync your OneDrive for Business library to your computer so that you have a copy in both places. You can then work in Windows Explorer and open/save to this location directly from any application installed on your computer. Any updates in either location will sync with the other whenever your computer is online.

To set up the OneDrive Sync Client to sync your OneDrive library to your computer, follow the steps below.

Info

With OneDrive for Business, you can sync files between your computer and the cloud, so you can get to your files from anywhere - your computer, your mobile device, or a web browser. If you add, change, or delete a file or folder in your OneDrive folder, the file or folder is added, changed, or deleted on the OneDrive website and vice versa. You can work with your synced files directly in File Explorer and access your files even when you’re offline. Whenever you’re online, any changes that you or others make will sync automatically.
