This process may take some time and shouldn't be interrupted. But users must re-synchronize all files to their local computer or device. Stopping a synchronization and starting a new one to the same OneDrive library won't cause the loss of any data in the OneDrive library. Similarly, if you change the URLs of your SharePoint Server My Site host, users must stop the synchronization to the old location and set up a new synchronization to the new URL.
Setting up a new synchronization allows them to choose a new location. If a user wants to change the location on their computer or device to which data is synchronized, they must stop synchronizing the folder and then set up a new synchronization. Configure the OneDrive sync app for SharePoint Server 2019 The new OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) is supported only in SharePoint Server 2019. Use the previous OneDrive for Business sync app (Groove.exe) to sync files in SharePoint Server 2016 or earlier. Work with and saving your files directly in the folder is more convenient than opening your My Sites document library. The sync app also provides your users the added convenience of working with files directly from the local OneDrive sync folder. When the OneDrive sync app is used in an on-premises environment, it's primary benefit is for synchronizing files on laptops that are used while disconnected from your corporate network at times, such as when traveling. In a SharePoint Server on-premises environment, you may have the option to save directly to your document library (for example, from Office 2016), which is where files are synchronized from your OneDrive local folder anyway. Later, when the client computer or device reconnects to SharePoint Server, the files are synchronized. Users then can use those documents when they're disconnected from SharePoint Server. Sync apps also enable users to take documents offline. The OneDrive sync apps give users the convenience of local storage of their files.
