title: Hide 'Sync' button but allow 'Add shortcut to OneDrive' in SharePoint online
body: <p>I would like to allow people to add a shortcut, from a document library in SharePoint, to their OneDrive and hide the 'Sync' button in SharePoint.</p>

  <p>This is what I have tried:</p>
  <p>In the tenant settings https://[tenantname]-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/TenantSettings.aspx I'm hiding the sync button.</p>

  <p>But the sync button keeps showing in SharePoint.</p>

  <p>The only way I can hide the sync button is to set 'Offline Client Availability' in advanced list settings to No.</p>

  <p>When I do that the 'Sync' button is hidden and I can still see the 'Add shortcut to OneDrive' button - great this is what I want. When I click on 'Add shortcut to OneDrive' the shortcut is added to OneDrive but it has a red cross and I can't browse the files because 'Offline Client Availability' is turned off.</p>

  <p>This is what I would like:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>Hide 'Sync' button</li>
  <li>Show 'Add shortcut to OneDrive'</li>
  <li>For the added shortcut folder in OneDrive to show the files from SharePoint</li>
  </ul>
  <p>How would I achieve this? And has anyone else been able to hide the sync button from the tenant settings? I know this change can take a little time to take effect but I have waited for 20 hours and it still didn't work. Is there a bug?</p>
