Users can synchronize files in SharePoint Online libraries with OneDrive for Business across devices.

However, there are some prerequisites and limits for SharePoint library/OneDrive automatic syncing. These are the prerequisites and limits:
The OneDrive Files On-Demand Must policy needs to be enabled Must have Windows 10 (1709) or later There’s a 1,000-device limit for syncing a specific document library OneDrive ADML and ADMX files need to be copied into certain directories to enable the sync automatically policy for SharePoint libraries (as outlined below) You’ll need to have OneDrive for Business installed Don’t enable automatic syncing for SharePoint libraries that include more than 5,000 files
With all required prerequisites met, you can configure the SharePoint library to automatically sync with OneDrive via Group Policy Editor or Microsoft Intune. To utilize Group Policy, you’ll also need Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise. This is how you can sync SharePoint to OneDrive automatically.

Sharepoint sync issues with OneDrive can arise because of installation issues with the OneDrive app and local/server file copy conflicts. The Microsoft Office Upload Center’s cache can also stop SharePoint from syncing with OneDrive. Check out our OneDrive not syncing guide for potential fixes.
