I am currently using Registry Editor to obtain the cloud OneDrive URL of a local OneDrive folder, through: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SyncEngines\Providers\OneDrive\ -> UrlNameSpace.

However, for shared folders I cannot seem to obtain the correct path based on the UrlNameSpace property. For example the following below returns:

  • C: Drive path (MountPoint) - C:\Users\nathan.hurley\MyCompany\John Smith - ShareFolder
  • (UrlNameSpace) - https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/personal/john_smith_mycompany_com/Documents

Following the example above, if I'm trying to get the cloud OneDrive URL for:

C:\Users\nathan.hurley\MyCompany\John Smith - ShareFolder\Test

Replacing the C: Drive path with the UrlNameSpace will produce the following path:

https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/personal/john_smith_mycompany_com/Documents/Test.

The problem with this online link, is that it doesn't obtain the root synced folder and opening the link will lead to a 404 page error. The correct URL should be the following:

https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/personal/john_smith_mycompany_com/Documents/ShareFolder/Test

Again, I've noticed this issue only occurs with shared folders and within the Registry Editor, these folders also include an additional property called IsFolderScope. Is there an efficient way to determine which folders are Shared Folders other than checking the IsFolderScope property? Also, are shared folders the only folders that include this property?

  • What do you mean by shared folder? I'm aware you can give an external access to a Sharepoint/OneDrive folder......but that's not what you mean, right? Commented Feb 20 at 16:37
