Can I sync a shared folder on OneDrive with another user in WINDOWS EXPLORER NOT WEBSITE?

Is there a way to sync OneDrive folder that I share with another person on to THEIR OneDrive within windows explorer... Like DropBox?

They should be able to go to their OneDrive Folder on their computer & see the shared folder I have shared with them... the ONLY way they see it, is going to OneDrive.com & logging into the OneDrive website??

I want this to work like dropbox... is this an Option?? I am missing something??

Thanks.

If you share with that person using his usual MS account, then he will see the file in HIS online OneDrive account!

When he opens his OneDrive account and selects Shared, he will see what HE as shared at the top, and what OTHERS have shared with him below the first line!

To view the files in his local OneDrive, DOWNLOAD the shared files to the OneDrive folder on his PC,

So there is no way for it to just Sync without going to OneDrive website & downloading each time there are new files?

No way to do just like Dropbox which syncs DIRECTLY to UR windows explorer folder??
