Windows 8.1 users will need to upgrade to Windows 10 to get this feature. Shared Folder sync is available on Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and MacOS. We’re rolling this out which takes some time, and of course you may get it before your friend who also wants it (try not to rub it in). Select the shared folder(s) you want and they’ll immediately begin syncing to your PC or Mac. And on the sync client, when you select what folders to sync, you’ll see all the shared folders you’ve added.

From then on, whenever you browse your OneDrive, you’ll be able to see any of the shared folders you’ve added. Clicking “Add to my OneDrive” will add that folder to your OneDrive. We can’t wait for you to start using it! How does it work?
