After installing Office 365, J'ai un new special folder in Explorer called "OneDrive - Company Name LLC".
J'ai trouvé a registry key at `Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace` whose value matches that text (and it's the only match in le registre), and I confirmed previously that *deleting* it will remove the entry from Explorer, so Je supposed I could rename it here. Cependant, it does not seem to work. J'ai changé the value and even rebooted, but the display value did not change.
**Comment puis-je rename my personal OneDrive folder?**
Background/reasoning:
J'ai synced a Sharepoint document library as a public share of sorts. It shows up as "Company Name LLC". My *personal* OneDrive shows up as "OneDrive - Company Name LLC". This has already led to confusion with some employees. They thought they were putting files in a public space but were not. Ideally it would be named something like "OneDrive - Personal Folders".
Rename OneDrive for Business dossier in Explorer
Re: Rename OneDrive for Business dossier in Explorer
There are some good answers here, and since they're scattered I made this post to include the whole process and procedure in addition to what is missing.
**Process**
- Close OneDrive (step 1 below)
- Rename OneDrive folder (step 2 below)
- (optional) Move the OneDrive folder to the desired location (step 3 below)
- Modify the relevant registry keys (steps 4-5 below)
- Modify the configuration file (steps 6-8 below)
**Procedure**
- Close OneDrive.
- Rename the OneDrive folder.
- (optional) Move the OneDrive folder to the desired location.
- Ouvrez le registry (menu Démarrer >> search "regedit")
- Modify the OneDrive folder or path in the following locations: (or follow @xoxox advice and search for "OneDrive - (company name)"

In HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU) (4 locations)

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\UserFolder
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\ScopeIdToMountPointPathCache\(`ID`)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\Tenants\(`name`)\(`path`)
HKCU\Software\SyncEngines\Providers\OneDrive\(`ID`)\MountPoint
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM) (2 locations)
>
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\Provider\CBP\(`ID`)\NAMESPACE
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SyncRootManager\OneDrive!(`ID`)\UserSyncRoots\(`SID`)
- Ouvrez le following location: `%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\Business1`
- Locate the `(ID).ini` file (usually it's the 2nd file) and edit it (clic droit >> edit)
- Locate the OneDrive path in the first line (in the value of the `libraryScope` parameter) and modify it to be as the new path. Then save the file.
- Open OneDrive.
**Notes**
In step 5 above, some parameters are quoted (e.g. `(name)`, `(ID)`, `(path)`) - that means that these parameters are interchangeable, and there should be some value that is probably unique to your case.
You may find that you do not have access to modify certain registry values, particularly, the Security Center NAMESPACE value. One potential workaround is to make yourself the owner of the parent key `(ID)`. Assurez-vous to record the original owner and restore ownership after you have changed the value.
