OneDrive for Mac can´t create local folder

Well, to be really honest Microsoft says that not support Symbolic Links in OneDrive client
<br />Microsoft Says in below document:
<br />"You can't add a network or mapped drive as your OneDrive sync location. OneDrive doesn't support syncing using symbolic links or junction points."
<br />https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...arepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa
<br />But in this other document they use "mklink" as a workaround
<br />Microsoft say: "Solution/Workaround
<br />To work around this issue, use symbolic links to link a local path of the local OneDrive sync folder. Files that are put in the linked location will be added to the local OneDrive folder and will be synchronized to your OneDrive or SharePoint site.
<br />The mklink command is used to create symbolic links at the command prompt. To create a symbolic link to a folder, you must first create a target folder in the local OneDrive location and then use the following command: "
<br /> mklink /d \Path to Link\Path to Target

Hallo Tobias,

Du kannst den OneDrive Ordner als URL Webseite in Microsoft Teams hinzufügen und dann versuch die Datei zu teilen. Mehr Details findest du im

Hi StankoBeronja,

When OneDrive can't sync a file or folder because its name contains invalid characters, OneDrive can sometimes rename it for you.

If OneDrive is able to rename the file or folder, you'll see a Rename option in the notification area. If OneDrive can't rename the file or folder automatically, you'll need to rename it yourself manually.

For more, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/oned...

I'd suggest going through the following article to know some invalid character that OneDrive doesn't support and the right process to rename file and sync:

Dear Renzo,
<br />I'll switch to english - hope that makes it easier. - Thanks for the quick response.
<br />Thanks for the reference to "user voice". In that I saw a comment by another user saying " XXX but cannot be done with OneDrive except by creating folder junctions (symlinks)" --> would you know if that might actually be a solution for the problem? Creating a link in the local onedrive folder directing to another hard disk?
<br />best

Hello JJTT_885,

Thank you for coming to the forum.

I am sorry to inform you that OneDrive does not have such features. The way OneDrive works is this:

There are some selected folders that OneDrive can sync, those folders are your complete Desktop, Documents, and Pictures. It will sync all the contents, you cannot select what to sync and what not to sync. It will sync the whole documents in those folders

In this link below you will see all the folders that OneDrive can sync.

Another thing, you can do is to move the folder directory you want to the OneDrive Folder created for you when you install OneDrive and sign in, you will see it in the left pane of your File explorer.

Give a reply if you need more information

Best Regards
Fuad
