Sharing nice links from SharePoint/ OneDrive Sync location

Using the NWS PowerTool, you can conveniently share nice links to files located in your OneDrive or a SharePoint Online directly from the File Explorer Sync location.
The local file location is automatically translated to the URL cloud location.
With nice links I mean that you can choose if you want to display the link in a clickable-breadcrumb format and also that if the file is located in a Teams SharePoint you will get a link to the related Team.
Example:  Knowledge Brokers TeamGeneral > Knowledge Broker Toolkit > Overall Introduction_Knowledge Brokers.pptx 
This page is currently a draft/ WIP. Reach out to me if you want it to be finished soon.

Notes

Prerequisites

Of course, this requires the NWS PowerTool to be installed/ setup.

Setup SPSync.ini File

The setup is automatic. 
Each time you change your sync'ed locations you will need to update this file manually.
Go in the NWS PowerTool System Tray icon menu under Settings-> IntelliPaste-> Update SharePoint Sync Ini

Teams PowerShell for Team Link

Refer to this post how to setup Teams PowerShell. It is only required if you want the Team link before the SharePoint link(s).

Share links

  • Copy files in File Explorer using Ctrl+C
    (You can press the Ctrl or Shift key for multi-selection and also use a flat view e.g. in FreeCommander or Search view)
  • IntelliPaste anywhere (Ins key by default)
