What are Personal
Sites in Office 365?
SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business
are closely integrated Office 365 services.
The OneDrive for Business document library—
sometimes called a “OneDrive for Business
site”—is part of a user's SharePoint Online
My Site.
Like on SharePoint on-prem, a MY Site Host
Web app in Office 365 is typically created and
hosted in SharePoint Online as :
https://tanentname-my.sharepoint.com/
Its’ setting for Creating My Sites are also
Steps to Follow :
The My Site settings are configured during initial creation of your SharePoint
Online MY Site Host web app.
By – Isha Kapoor www.learningsharepoint.comBy – Isha Kapoor www.learningsharepoint.com
You can access these settings using SharePoint admin center -> User Profiles - > Under My
Site Settings, click Setup My Sites.

To Pre-provision –
OneDrive for
Business for all
users
Consider using SharePoint
Online Management shell and
Windows PowerShell 3.0.
You'll need to do the following to pre-provision user sites:
Steps to Follow :
There is a limit of 200 users per provisioning request. If you have more than 200
users, you must submit the requests in batches.
• Set up the SharePoint Online Management shell.
• Download and install the SharePoint Online Client
Components SDK.
• Sign in to Office 365 as a global administrator.
• Log in as member of the administrators group on the server on
which you are running the Windows PowerShell script.
• Copy the script CreateOneDriveSites.ps1 from URL
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/dn800987.aspx
Replace the following in the script
$webUrl variable
$username variable and
Replace the example user accounts with the list of accounts to pre-provision. For
example,$loader.CreatePersonalSiteEnqueueBulk(@("user1@contoso.onmicrosoft.com",
"user2@contoso.onmicrosoft.com" , "user3@contoso.onmicrosoft.com")).

Why Should I Pre-
Provision these
Sites?
Consider using SharePoint
Online Management shell and
Windows PowerShell 3.0.
In Scenarios such as the following, you might want OneDrive
for Business sites to be ready beforehand, or pre-provisioned :
You must have Office 365 administrator permissions for using the SharePoint
Online Administration Center to perform the tasks.
• Your organization has a custom process for adding new employees, and you
want to create OneDrive for Business sites when you add new employees.
• Your organization plans to migrate from on-premises to an Office 365
Business or Office 365 Enterprise plan.
• Your organization plans to migrate from another online storage service or
repository.
• Add and delete a Trusted My Site host location
• Add Favorite Links for OneDrive for Business in Office client applications.

SharePoint Online External Sharing – PowerShell Option
If you ever plan to turn on external
sharing for the Site Collections again,
the external users would need to be
re-invited.
The external sharing settings for
individual site collections cannot be
less restrictive than whatever is
allowed for the entire SharePoint Online
environment, but these settings can be
more restrictive.

OneDrive for Business Sharing Options
For Sharing in OneDrive for Business documents, end-users can either
provide access using the Sharing button in Office 365 or from the
Office activity panel in Office 2016.
Let’s discuss few unique sharing scenarios :
In case of a Conflict in a Shared File (local OneDrive folder vs
web) – Changes in local folder needs to be discarded.
In case you stopped syncing onedrive for business (unlinked OneDrive) -
When you start syncing a library again, it will create a new folder on your
computer. If it’s using the same name, it will add a number to the end, such as
1, 2, and so on.

OneDrive for Business Co-authoring Options
Tips on how Co-authoring works with Versioning, Content Approval, Check-OutIn and
legacy Office apps.
Co-authoring & Check-outCheck-in – Co-authoring is not compatible with the process
of checking out and checking in documents in a SharePoint library. Checking out a
document means you want to exclusively write to it, and then eventually check it back in so
others can see the changes or do further work on the document.
By default SharePoint libraries do not require checking out files, and should not be enabled
where co-authoring will be used.
Co-authoring & Versioning – Each Co-authoring session Creates a version automatically,
when Versioning is enabled in your library. Because several co-authors might keep a
document open for a long period of time, versioning for co-authored documents is
performed at specific time intervals and not necessarily when the document is Saved. The
default value for time intervals in most environments is 30 minutes.
Co-authoring & Content Approval – When multiple users are editing a document,
Content Approval works as expected i.e. a single users’ Changes are saved as a Draft
Version with the status of “Pending” until it gets approved by the Approver. If it gets
approved, the same approval process happens when the second user saves hisher
changes after being done with the editing.

Consider following resolutions (right) when you are getting issues (left) with
OneDrive for Business.
“Your OneDrive for business files
will no longer sync”
Login to your windows 10 machine with
Microsoft Id or Office 365 work or school Id.
Cannot resolve messages in View
Sync Problems in SYNC client
OneDrive for Business cache by using the
"Easy fix" tool
If your OneDrive for Business on Windows 10 resynchronizes files, even when there is no
apparent reason for the files to resync, you might need to install the appropriate update
for OneDrive for Business for Office 2016 or Office 2013 (whichever). See the
Microsoft support article Here.
Disabling OneDrive prior to deploying the OneDrive for Business sync client can help
avoid confusion as to where files are synced and saved. If users disable or uninstall
OneDrive on their computers, they won't lose any files or data in OneDrive. They can
always access their files by signing in to OneDrive.com.
This doesn't remove OneDrive from your PC, but it stops it from syncing with the cloud or
connecting with other apps, and removes it from the navigation pane in File Explorer.
OneDrive for Business now supports large
files up to 10 GB in size and removing the
20,000 file sync limit.
OneDrive is built-in to Windows 10, so it
can't be uninstalled. But you can hide it and
stop the sync process, so it stays hidden. To do
this, turn off all the OneDrive settings and
remove the OneDrive folder from File Explorer.
Any file that’s currently open by an
application (for example, an Excel .xlsx file) can't
be synced by OneDrive for Business.
Microsoft is working to add the support for
file names that contain ‘%’ or ‘#’ characters for
OneDrive for Business. Previously these were
blocked for upload to OneDrive for Business.
