Software\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive\CustomSyncRootFolderName Description
This setting lets you customize the local OneDrive sync root folder name on users' computers. By default, the folder name is "OneDrive - {organization name}." Shortening this name increases the available path length for nested folders and files. If you enable this setting and provide a custom folder name, OneDrive will use that name when creating the sync root folder for new users. Users who are already syncing will need to unlink and relink their account for the change to take effect. To learn more, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/use-group-policy. If you disable this setting, the folder name will revert to "OneDrive - {organization name}". Users who were using a custom folder name will need to unlink and relink their account for the change to take effect. If you do not configure this setting, the default folder name will be used. Important: You must provide at least one character for the custom folder name. The custom folder name cannot be "OneDrive". The full OneDrive sync root folder path (for example, C:\Users\{alias}\OneDrive - {organization name}) cannot exceed 120 characters. Custom folder names cannot contain characters that are invalid for Windows folders. For a list of unsupported characters, see https://support.microsoft.com/office/restrictions-and-limitations-in-onedrive-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa#invalidcharacters.
