Enable syncing of files across O365 organizations

Allow shared folders to be synced to local drive even if no editor permissions
Allow shared folders to be synced to local drive even if no editor permissions
Usecase: Use "share a folder" to actually deploy something on a users machine (for working offline) but prevent them changing and therefor possibly damaging the stuff you shared with them. For this we currently use Dropbox but would rather use the builtin OneDrive which would be easier to maintain in the long run as less extra software
