75 CHAPTER 5 | Connecting to the Internet and cloud services If you have a OneDrive for Business account, you use the same client to sync its files to a separate local folder. Right-click the OneDrive icon in the notification area, choose Settings, click the Account tab, and then click Add A Business Account, as shown in Figure 5-9. Figure 5-9: To sync all or part of a OneDrive for Business account to local folders, click Add A Business Account, sign in with your Office 365 credentials, and follow the setup steps. The steps associated with setting up synchronization for a OneDrive for Business account are nearly identical to those for a personal OneDrive account, with the same option to select all or some folders to sync. When you selectively sync folders from OneDrive to a local device, only synced files are available from File Explorer. Files and folders you choose not to sync remain in the cloud, and you can access them any time by visiting OneDrive.com in a web browser, by clicking File > Open in a Microsoft Office app, or by installing the OneDrive app from the Store. You can use other options in OneDrive Settings to automatically save new files to the Documents and Pictures folders in OneDrive rather than on your local PC and to restrict the amount of network bandwidth that OneDrive can use when it syncs. The OneDrive sync software is included in Windows 10 and it cannot be uninstalled. An organization can use Group Policy to disable OneDrive from synchronizing with the cloud or connecting to other apps. This setting is available in Group Policy Editor under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive. If you’re running Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor to change the same setting, as shown in Figure 5-10.
