I would not hassle with OneDrive. The paths can be different for different users within the same organization. If you decide to forge ahead with OneDrive use the OneDrive variable, not %USERPROFILE%.

With OneDrive you have three Windows variables to work with: %OneDrive%, %OneDriveCommercial%, %OneDriveConsumer%.

Ideally the %OneDrive% variable will direct you to a common folder, using a common path below USERPROFILE, for everyone, but that is not always the case.

Jan Blaasse Yes I'm aware of this.

I currently have a script for when individuals log into the server, but we have individuals who work remotely and I'm attempting to find a way to sync their worksapce files. I was hoping to use OneDrive or SharePoint. I'll try the %USERPROFILE%.

Thank you for the information.

Robert,

You are aware there are three separate location variables you need to change? (Civil organization, workspace, workset) The headings in your post show you what to look for.

I'm not sure how it will work for your needs, but we use a startup script to sync the workspace files from a network location to each users local drive. Changes to the workspace are forced to the local drive including deleting obsolete files or resetting user-changed files.
The same could be done for any other folder structure as long as there is write access to the target location.

If you choose to go with the user\username location, you might want to use this variable: %USERPROFILE%. For more info, see learn.microsoft.com/.../usmt-recognized-environment-variables

Similar discussion you may want to consider on the Product Admin Forum... [SS10/Connect/ORD] shifting from network/VPN to Sharepoint/OneDrive?

Long story short, there have been major concerns placing any Bentley configs or working files on OneDrive.
