I have since discovered another sys-admin had applied another 2 x GPOs with these settings also configured. They were conflicting but not appearing in RSOP.msc
The users now have access to the sub-folders in their Home folders.

The issue now seems to be that the C:\Users\Me\Desktop is not syncing with C:\Users\Me\OneDrive - MyCollege\Desktop on the local machine. The latter is syncing up to our 365 cloud

Any help would be greatly appreciated

We would like to get One Drive on Demand working for our students but also need to hide the C: drive. It would appear that using Group Policy to 'Hide these drives' or 'Prevent access to these drives' stops the user clicking on their Desktop or Documents or Pictures folders and stops access.
How can we Hide the C: drive but still give each user access to their own Home folder and fodlers within?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One Drive - Known Folder Redirection

Group Policy is a feature of the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems (including Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2003+) that controls the working environment of user accounts and computer accounts. Group Policy provides centralized management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and users' settings in an Active Directory environment. A set of Group Policy configurations is called a Group Policy Object (GPO). A version of Group Policy called Local Group Policy (LGPO or LocalGPO) allows Group Policy Object management without Active Directory on standalone computers.

Group Policy
