I have a client with related busineses that would like to separate each business with it's own office 365 account, but need some staff in one business to sync a library from the other business.
I have successfully test shared a library from one tennant to another, but Onedrive for Business fails to sync it;
When I try to sync the library it pops up asking for my username and password (even though OneDrive for business is already logged in) It usually goes around and around on this, not really logging in at all. Clicking Sign In often doesn't do anything.
I hit enter a few times, and it says
We can't connect to the specified sharepoint site
I quite One Drive for Business and started again, and it decided to sync the library, but then complained about my credentials being missing.
Opening the sync errors, there is a button for "enter credentials", but clicking it does nothing.
So I quit it again and reopened it.... and it seems to be working.
Wow, why so hard? Have I done something wrong? Will this continue to work?
Mathew.
UPDATE: I spoke too soon; It has pulled down a test file I put in the library in question, but I put a file into the library on my PC and it did not sync up to the sharepoint library.
UPDATE 2: Nope, it's even worse. Logging into sharepoint with the credentials of the user that the library was shared with, and I can see the file I dropped into the folder to sync via onedrive for business. But logging into the original tennant user account, the file is not there.
Apparently, you have to then login to the web and check the file in. Really?
