Force all users in a company to sync a single SharePoint Library
-

Question
If we want to sync a single SharePoint document library we should navigate to it in the browser and click Sync
button. Then, in a sync tool dialog box that pops-up in Windows, we perform a few actions including entering your email, if you never did it before.
Now is there a way to do it automatically for every user in the company using some automation?
I would be very grateful for any suggestions. Including 3rd party tools. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few companies who would like to know the answer to this question.
There is a similar question, but it's not exactly the same and it has no replies yet.
Solution
You have few options:
If there are limited numbers of users you can map a SharePoint library as a network drive. More information here and here.
Create a login script to automatically map your OneDrive for Business upon login, script here.
You can also consider a 3rd party tool. My company uses Cloud Drive Mapper to map all the OneDrives as a network drive.
