a friends business has 2 machines (well more than that but easier to explain if i say 2)

Using office 365

machine 1 i think is jointed to a azure / something in the cloud domain,
machine 2 is just a standalone machine

when i say share below i mean a folder in onedrive that appears on all their machines, not as windows share

they have a "shared" onedrive that appears on all the "domain" machines

this works on machine 1

on machine 2 i thought easy just log onedrive in (as the same user account as machine 1) and it will appear,

but a different set of files appears (desktop, documents, etc) not the "shared folder" despite both one drives being logged in as the same account

what am i doing wrong?
 
1. This is not what OneDrive is for.
2. The first machine is signed in with a Work account, the second machine is signed in with a personal account (the two are different and will show different things, but it is entirely possible to sign in to both a Work and Personal account with the same email/creds).
3. Use Teams instead for File Shares because it works better and isn't as hard to grasp as SharePoint (which is what Teams is effectively using behind the scenes).

Pointed me in the right direction needed to log into sharpoint as the user, and hit the sync button, it did something to one drive and the "shared" files appeared on the machine
