OneDrive sync in the multi shared pc profile
We have some organizations with shared devices.
Parttime users using the same device.
Intune can not handle this with the compliance policies so we setup an shared pc Configuration profile.
This is working fine but we are missing the OneDrive sync

I understand that the choice to disable it may have something to do with account maintenance (e.g. users filling up the entire drive with their OneDrive sync or perhaps the profile delete operation may affect OneDrive data when it starts deleting it). However, we have shared Surface devices for use out in the field. The end-users would like to sync data from SharePoint to the device because once they start their inspections, they're going to be offline. It would be nice if they could leverage OneDrive to make this easy. Otherwise, utility wins over IT convenience so we cannot use Shared PC mode to leverage its benefits.

Grah! you can't even undo that decision by way of adding an admin template setting in intune since the more restrictive one (shutting it off) wins! So instead, I have to remake the shared pc mode step by step just without that one setting? Looks like others have tried but didn't quite make it all the way.

Take a look at Zee Drive to map network drives to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online. It will provide "online only" like access to files and has specific support for shared (hot desk) computers http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/

Why not let choose the admin as an intune setting? We can't use the shared device settings without OneDrive sync. We also use known folder move to OneDrive.

Why disabeling the whole sync client. Just let the Sync Client work online only. As it is now users aren't able to open or save files from 3rd party applications from their onedrive or synced sharepoint sites.
Microsoft apps are ready for this but most 3rd party apps aren't. This is a big problem for modern managed shared devices! Simply said we CANNOT use shared device policies if we have 3rd party apps that are using explorer to browse for or save files to onedrive!

So, like, is this ever going to be looked at? This is pretty ridiculous

SharedPCMode disabling onedrive makes no sense! Please remove this part of it.

ChromeOS does get this right.
I don't see why OneDrive would be disabled by the SharedPC CSP, could anyone explain the logic behind the decision?

Please add a possibility to allow Sync Client with shared device settings. Thanks.

@Matt White,
Can you please tell me how to reproduce to account management from the Shared Device Policy without using the Shared PC Mode so we can use OneDrive?

This is a really useful feature to have. There are additional benefits in Shared Multi-User device that will enable a more fully functional shared Win10 PC that needs to be more than a Kiosk.
When we redirect personal data to OneDrive this becomes an issue. You can reproduce most of the settings in the Shared Multi-user device policy except for the consistent disabling of Hello PIN (support ticket raised) and the Sign Out button at the bottom of the lock screen
