While this offline sync capability is very useful, it also comes with a price. In other cases, you could use this to allow employees working remotely to have access to a central team site that contains all of your document templates or marketing collateral. The OneDrive for Business client allows not only syncing for offline access of a users personal site folders but also of team site folders and data. In some cases, people are even using this feature to replace their Folder Redirection shares on the local network to a file server and have users work go up to OneDrive for Business by default making the most of that 1TB per user allowance and reducing your on-premise storage management and purchasing costs.
