When you click Sync, a permission window will pop-up asking you to confirm that you want to use OneDrive to perform the sync action. Find and click the Sync icon in the toolbar of the SharePoint page. This will open a web page (you may need to log in to Office365) that shows the Channel’s file section in SharePoint. From within the Channel’s Files section, navigate to the folder you want to sync to your computer, and click the Open in Sharepoint link. In order to access the sync tool we need, we’ll have to open the File section in Team’s big brother, SharePoint. In this example, I’ll create a local copy of the General Channel from my ITS Department Team. Any files saved to this Channel’s file section will show up on Team members’ computers, regardless of where they are. Using OneDrive, we can create a local copy of folders and files from the Files section. Each Channel has a Files section where documents and folders for that Channel are saved. I think of Channels as sub-folders in a larger folder (Team). Channels represent different projects, topics, or initiatives within your Team.
