In this segment of the video, the speaker explains why it’s better to sync shared folders through OneDrive rather than using a mapped network drive letter. The suggested method allows users to see who has shared the folder and the folder’s name, which helps differentiate between personal and shared folders.

Any changes made to the files in the shared folder are synced in real-time and are accessible to all collaborators with the appropriate permissions. This method ensures that shared files are easily accessible and editable directly from Windows Explorer.
