Skydrive Pro & Sharepoint sync - Only sync subfolders

Is it possible to sync only files in a sub-folder within a main document library?
I'm working on a set of documents that are stored in a sub-folder which is part of a huge document library. I don't want to sync the whole library because:
- I don't need the rest of the docs
- I don't want to accidentally mess it up by deleting/moving files etc
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to create a new document library for the stuff that I'm working on.. (some company policy or other)
Thanks in advance

In the example above and now below :) Is there anyway do this, I am the admin could I set a users right to the mainlibrary and one subfolder, and thus not allow syncing to other folders - Power Shell it maybe? This would be very helpful, as I would like
to get away from syncing 1.75GB folders only to play inside a folder with 25 megs, from a server overhead prospective this would greatly improve network congestion problems. Hope someone is listening to my wine - LOL I know it's the wrong spelling.

For example, I have a document library:
http://someurl.com/mainlibrary
Within that library, I have a sub-folder
http://someurl.com/mainlibrary/mysubfolder
When I choose the option to sycn a new library, in the box that says "Which library do you want to sync?", I put the url : http://someurl.com/mainlibrary/mysubfolder
However, when I started syncing, skydrivepro actually sycn the whole Mainlibrary, and not just "mysubfolder".
So my question is whether it's possible to sync just "mysubfolder"

Yes, you will.

SkyDrive Pro - Renaming folders and sync locations

I'm trying to understand the SkyDrive Pro feature. Of course it ain't really SkyDrive as all references point to the old Groove application. I like how Groove moved from Groove --> SharePoint Workspace --> SkyDrive Pro..
I can change the Sync location via the UI like explained here:
Change the location where you sync SharePoint libraries on your computer
This doesn't help if I want to rename the sync folder of document libraries on my local drive.
There's two problems I have with the local folders:
The sync folder name is trimmed to 35 characters. That makes it hard to distinguish different document libraries from the same site if the site name is long. I currently have a set of folders named like so: "<long sitename> ... - Doc" and
"<long sitename> ... - Pro". These libraries are actually called "Documents and "Protocols".
Different O365 Tenants create different root folders.
I m now wondering about problem one. I have found the Access (!) Sync DB under C:\Users\gaida\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OfficeFileCache\CentralTable.accdb (no google results yet on the architecture). In that Sync DB I found all local locations
under the SubCache table as well as the OutgoingEvents. Changing the local locations there doesn't work - SkyDrive Pro forgets about the folders right away and I have to re-synch them. That means those locations are not the right way to change stuff.
Has anyone any more insight information on how SkyDrive Pro works? I also found the secret Telespaces path with the *.xss files - these also look promising, are not editable with a text editor though.
Basically my question is how SkyDrive Pro works and how I can rename the local sync folders.

I have the same question.

Documents in a shared "SkyDrive Pro" (Sharepoint) folder makes office applications to hang.

Hello,
I asked the following question in the Office365 community but they could not help me any further and they told me to ask the question here. For the original thread look here: http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/172/p/212129/655853.aspx
Office version: Office Pro 2013 (365 ProPlus)
Windows version: Windows 7 Pro.
We are using a shared folder on "places" in SharePoint Online with some shared documents we edit from different places. But sometimes when using documents on the drive applications like Excel and Word hangs, and then you have to reboot or kill a couple
of "winword.exe" or "excel.exe" to get them to work again.
I don't know why those "shadow processes" are there, but the problem is only when working with documents on the SkyDrive Pro.
Sometimes when you save to Skydrive the applications hangs and you have to kill the process.
The document seams to be saved tough.
Kind Regards,
Noiden

Hi Noiden,
Please exit your Skydrive Pro and try to use the command %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\Groove.exe /clean /all stated in the KB article below to check if it helps:

How to sync only subfolders in a library in SharePoint 2013?

Hi, I have one library in which too many folders and subfolders are created.<o:p></o:p>
I want to sync only 2 subfolder to my PC from SharePoint 2013 site.<o:p></o:p>
Is it possible to sync only subfolder instead sync complete library? <o:p></o:p>

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to sync only subfolders in a library in SharePoint 2013.
Using SkyDrive Pro you can only sync at document library level. You cannot sync complete site or a single folder in a document library.
With SkyDrive Pro Sync Client, there is no possibility to Sync a partial subset of a document library. By design the entire doc library gets synced and we get local copies of all the files and folders under it.
When a User attempts to sync a sub folder within a Library, the sync tool always picks the parent Library as the Sync point and syncs everything under it. Users are forced to sync the document library as a whole.

Does anyone use Sharepoint to only host SkyDrive Pro?

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone else had put in Sharepoint 2013 with the sole purpose of using it as backend storage for SkyDrive Pro?
We don't want the Sharepoint web site functions but really want to use the SkyDrive Pro product for "cloud sync" for personal documents
thanks in advance.

I already have Sharepoint installed so am comfortable to use that installation, but I don't want to put any effort into the development of the front end (Web parts, document libraries etc)
I'm quite open to buying Office 365 if you think that will help? Although I can't see why that is relevant.

SkyDrive Pro and SharePoint 2010

Why SkyDrive Pro can no longer sync SharePoint 2010 libraries? I was using Windows 8 with Office 2013 and SkyDrive Pro had no problems with synchronizing content from SharePoint 2010. Now I installed Windows 8.1 with Office 2013 and it doesn't work anymore.
Is there any way to fix it? My colleagues (with Windows 8 and Office 2013) still can synchronize content from SharePoint 2010.

Note that SkyDrive Pro does not support SharePoint 2010 so any issues you have with it won't be looked at by Microsoft.

On-premise SharePoint 2013 and SkyDrive Pro Sync Issue

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum between SharePoint and SkyDrive as the issue is related to an update on SkyDrive Pro.
premise SharePoint 2013 installation (migrated from 2010) and Office 2013 installed. SharePoint is patched up to the latest CU. Syncing documents from SharePoint worked fine until KB2817495 was installed. The syncing still seems to work but we cannot add
any new libraries, either directly from the browser using the "sync" button or adding the URL to "Sync a new library". I've tested it with an Office 365 account and the libraries add fine so I'm not sure whether it's a SkyDrive or SharePoint
issue. If I uninstall the update then I can successfully sync new libraries from our on-premise installation.
At this point the only solution I can see is to prevent that update from installing via WSUS.
Kind regards,
Rick

Hi
anuxps ,
Yammer already have Single Sign On with Office 365, but SharePoint Server for on-premise does not follow a 90-day release cycle and it won’t yet. Also we are looking for Yammer integration with on-premise
soon. There are improvements coming.

Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

That sucks. DropBox can.
We want to SYNC literature down to sales reps and not have the sales reps accidentally erase from the Cloud for all. Hence we want a one way SYNC to have them SYNC literature onto their computers for remote
access to the files.
Surely SharePoint cannot be that far behind DropBox.
Is there no way to achieve that?

OneDrive (SkyDrive) only sync's to the roaming profile of 1 pc?

Hi,
We got a problem with our Onedrive (we got the latest version), we make use of SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013 (we do not use Ofice 365).
The SharePoint libraries we sync are stored in our local roaming file, but if i log on into another pc these file arent in the local roaming file of that pc. Meaning i dont have any libraries synced and that means i have to make the sync connections
all over again.
I see alot of comunity post that this is an issue in 365, is this also a problem with the normal SharePoint?
Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,
If we use another PC, then we need to re-sync the documents with OneDrive for Business.
However, the documents will be automatically sync to the local folder in the same PC, so we don't need to re-sync again in the same PC.
If you store the data in a network share, then you can view or edit the files based on your permission without re-syncing the documents.
Best regards.
Thanks

Enable Sharepoint 2013 SkyDrive Pro Synch for some site

Good day,
How do you enable SkyDrive pro for some libraries, i have only found the switch that enables for all or for none. Can this be configured via Powershell ? and how thanks

Hi Franciske,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to sync multiple SharePoint 2013 libraries with SkyDrive Pro.
For enabling SkyDrive Pro for some SharePoint libraries, you can click ‘SYNC’ at the top of SharePoint web site, then you can select which library is synchronized to SkyDrive Pro. Or you can use SkyDrive Pro directly by right-clicking it and selecting ‘Sync
a new library’, then type the URL of the library that you want to sync.
You only sync one library to SkyDrive Pro at once time. So , for synchronizing multiple libraries, you need to sync multiple times.
More information, please refer to the links:

Alternate of Skydrive pro for offline capability in sharepoint 2013.

Hi Everyone,
I have been working on offline solution for sharepoint 2013. The volume of data in sharepoint is huge(like 2 TB). Almost every user will have access to more than 25000 documents. Initially I picked Skydrive Pro client(which comes with office 2013) as a tool
but later got to know the limitations of it.
As this link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn232145.aspx#section3 says.
The SkyDrive Pro Windows Sync client limits the total number of items that you may synchronize with a document library. The following limits are the synchronization limits of the SkyDrive
Pro Windows Sync client:
You can synchronize up to a maximum of 20,000 items in your SkyDrive Pro document library, which includes folders and files.
You can sync up to a maximum of 5,000 items in other document libraries, which includes folders and files.
In any library, you can download files up to a maximum file size of 2 GB.
Note:
The above limits are not configurable.
Which is a major setback for me. I have tried to found one tool called colligo breifcase for windows http://www.colligo.com/colligo-briefcase-for-windows-feature-matrix/.
Is there any other 3rd party tool or code in codeplex to overcome these limitations?
Thanks in advance.
