OneDrive: Restore files to original location when turning off folder backup

OneDrive: Restore files to original location when turning off folder backup.

This feature provides new functionality for users who turn off folder backup (also known as “PC folder backup” and “known folder move”). When users turn off folder backup, they will have the option to restore the files back to their original location. Note: when a folder contains files stored only in the cloud, those files will not be moved; they will remain in the cloud

When this will happen:

Standard Release: This is currently rolling out and will complete rolling out in late May 2023.

Note: Some users may see this feature before others in your organization.

What you need to do to prepare:

There is no action needed to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
