Teams and Sharepoint, sharing and syncing | Forum

Thank you for asking such a good question in the forum. Wendy has passed this on to me to answer. Please see the email I sent to you with more detail.

You are correct that the 2nd Screen shot of the ABM folder with the correct sub folders – as it appears in Teams is how it should be showing.
I can’t tell you how or why the OneAbm.local folder appeared as it looks like the result of a synch setup issue we can’t replicate.
Anything further would require IT support which isn’t inside the scope of the Post learning support we provide.
We can provide you with the following steps
First step before you remove the .local is to make sure that the Sync is not active. If it’s active the folder you delete will update and also delete this other users creating other problems.

Stop syncing
• Click on your OneDrive icon in the bottom right of your screen down on the taskbar, click “Help & Settings” and “Settings”
•
• Under Accounts, click stop sync. This will pop up a warning – please accept to stop syncing files
•
Delete the Folder
• Head to the folder which contains the OneAbm.local - This is likely C:\Users\Username
• You can now delete the folder as it has converted back to a local folder

In the case that the Stop sync stops both the ABM and OneABL.local syncing you can remove this too and redo the sync using the step below

Re-Sync
Head to Teams, Click on the a channel within a Team – General is best. Head to Files along the top and use the Open in SharePoint option

Click on the Documents to go up a level


I’m sorry that duplication happened but using the steps above will allow you to remove and if necessary redo the sync correctly.

Kind regards
