So I thought this would be easy, but apparently there is a detail I am missing. We recently setup OneDrive with an existing tenant and after a couple of installs we decided we didn't like the name format of the folder displayed in Windows Explorer that OneDrive automatically created.
It was using "Company Name, LLC" for example. Not only was the display name in Windows Explorer showing this, but also the user folder under "C:\users\username\OneDrive - Company Name, LLC"
The goal is to trim the ",LLC" from the end. So after some google'ing I found that you can change the Organization "Name" in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Under "Org settings > Organization profile"
Did that and now on new systems that have never had OneDrive setup, the Windows explorer name and related c:\users folder displays correctly. However, on systems where OneDrive was setup prior to the org name change, it still displays ",LLC".
Nothing I can do seems to change this. I have uninstalled/re-installed OneDrive client. I even went as far as to delete the user profile from one of the Windows systems entirely. Even with a fresh Windows profile and fresh connection of OneDrive, ",LLC" is still displayed.
Can someone shed some light on this please?
Regards,
Adam Tyler

Hola, a mí me funciono cambiar en el registro los siguientes datos
PASOS:
1.
Nota: S-1-5-21-1912403541-9691325140-3198946145-1001 = les aparecerá uno diferente, ingresan en ese
*Equipo\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1912403541-9691325140-3198946145-1001\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\Tenants
UpdatedTenantValue = 910 = >CAMBIE POR ESTE VALOR
*Equipo\HKEY_USERS\
S-1-5-21-1912403541-9691325140-31989461451001\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OneDrive\Accounts\Business1\Tenants\OneDrive - (EMPRESA)
C:\Users(usuario)\OneDrive - (EMPRESA) = 910 => CAMBIE POR ESTE VALOR
este procedimiento permitió que actualizara el Tenant de la empresa el cual se cambió por tener un nombre largo.
Espero les sirva, como a mí.**

Follow below steps to change the name of the Onedrive Folder in windows Explorer:
• Quite OneDrive
• Create a folder(give the name you want for your onedrive) at a location where you want your onedrive data to be synced
• Go to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings"
• Open folder Business1 (it could be Business2 or 3 based on how many accounts you have syncing via OneDrive)
• Find ".ini" file with the long somewhat random name similar to this: 31c26d83-4db2-4503-a8g0-a3e14e7bcchd.ini
Right click edit - Find the path of your onedrive then change it to the desired path and name
E.g. if it c:\user\onedrive - company name then change it to the same as path of what you have created in 2nd step
Save it and close it
Run OneDrive app - it will throw an error - click try again

I had the same question and the solution mentioned by Himansukh Chauhan did the job perfectly for me.

Having the same problem here. I wanted to have a short org folder name but it can't be changed on old machines that signed in OneDrive before. Hope Microsoft can help fix that.

Like May said, she is not the only one who thinks this is wrong.
What folder I use is not for Microsoft to dictate particularly as it gives stupidly long files names.. If I want to store my one drive files in c:\Bloggs, that's for me to determine.
Why oh Why Microsoft do you do this and will you please allow me to control how I set up my machines!
Grrr, rant over.
