' COMMENTS REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION:
' 1) Background and Alternative
' This function was intended to be written as a single procedure without any
' dependencies, for maximum portability between projects, as it implements a
' functionality that is very commonly needed for many VBA applications
' working inside OneDrive/SharePoint synchronized directories. I followed
' this paradigm because it was not clear to me how complicated this simple
' sounding endeavour would turn out to be.
' Unfortunately, more and more complications arose, and little by little,
' the procedure turned incredibly complex. I do not condone the coding
' style applied here, and this is not how I usually write code.
' Nevertheless, I'm not open to rewriting this code in a different style,
' because a clean implementation of this algorithm already exists, as pointed
' out in the following.
'
' If you would like to understand the underlying algorithm of how the local
' path can be found with only the Url-path as input, I recommend following
' the much cleaner implementation by Cristian Buse:
' https://github.com/cristianbuse/VBA-FileTools
' We developed the algorithm together and wrote separate implementations
' concurrently. His solution is contained inside a module-level library,
' split into many procedures and using features like private types and API-
' functions, that are not available when trying to create a single procedure
' without dependencies like below. This makes his code more readable.
'
' Both of our solutions are well tested and actively supported with bugfixes
' and improvements, so both should be equally valid choices for use in your
' project. The differences in performance/features are marginal and they can
' often be used interchangeably. If you need more file-system interaction
' functionality, use Cristians library, and if you only need GetLocalPath,
' just copy this function to any module in your project and it will work.
'
' 2) How does this function work?
' This function builds the URL to Local translation dictionary by extracting
' the mount points and the corresponding OneDrive URL-roots from the OneDrive
' settings files.
'
' For example, for your personal OneDrive, such a local mount point could
' look like this:
' - C:\Users\Username\OneDrive
'
' and the corresponding URL-root could look like this:
' - https://d.docs.live.net/f9d8c1184686d493
'
' This "dictionary" can then be used to "translate" a given OneDrive URL to a
' local path by replacing the part that is equal to one of the elements of
' the dictionary with the corresponding local mount point.
' For example, this OneDrive URL:
' - https://d.docs.live.net/f9d8c1184686d493/Folder/File.xlsm
' will be correctly "translated" to
' - C:\Users\Username\OneDrive\Folder\File.xlsm
'
' Because all possible OneDrive URLs for the local machine can be translated
' by the same dictionary, it is implemented as `Static` in this function.
' This means it will only be written the first time the function is called,
' all subsequent function calls will find the "dictionary" already
' initialized leading to shorter run time.
'
' In order to build the dictionary, the function reads files from...
' On Windows:
' - the "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft" directory
' On Mac:
' - the "~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.OneDrive-mac/Data/" & _
' "Library/Application Support" directory
' - and/or the "~/Library/Application Support" directory
' It reads the following files:
' - \OneDrive\settings\Personal\ClientPolicy.ini
' - \OneDrive\settings\Personal\????????????????.dat
' - \OneDrive\settings\Personal\????????????????.ini
' - \OneDrive\settings\Personal\global.ini
' - \OneDrive\settings\Personal\GroupFolders.ini
' - \OneDrive\settings\Personal\SyncEngineDatabase.db *if .dat unavailable
' - \OneDrive\settings\Business#\????????-????-????-????-????????????.dat
' - \OneDrive\settings\Business#\????????-????-????-????-????????????.ini
' - \OneDrive\settings\Business#\ClientPolicy*.ini
' - \OneDrive\settings\Business#\global.ini
' - \OneDrive\settings\Business#\SyncEngineDatabase.db *if .dat unavailable
' - \Office\CLP\* (just the filename)
'
' Where:
' - "*" ... 0 or more characters
' - "?" ... one character [0-9, a-f]
' - "#" ... one digit
' - "\" ... path separator, (= "/" on MacOS)
' - The "???..." filenames represent CIDs)
'
' All of the `.ini` files can be read easily as they use UTF-16 encoding
' (UTF-8 on Mac, which makes it more difficult already).
' The `.dat` files are much more difficult to decipher, because they use a
' proprietary binary format. Luckily, the information we need can be
' extracted by looking for certain byte-patterns inside these files and
' copying and converting the data at a certain offset from these
' "signature" bytes.
'
' The `.db` files are the most challenging of them all and will only be read
' if the `.dat` files are not available.
' (for OneDrive version 23.184.0903.0001 and newer)
' They are SQLite files, which makes reading them with VBA in a reliable
' cross-platform way particularly challenging.
'
' For those who are interested in the exact algorithm behind how these files
' can be used to find the local path for a given OneDrive URL, please refer
' to the GitHub issues we used to discuss the progress on our solutions.
' Those are the following:
' - https://github.com/cristianbuse/VBA-FileTools/issues/1
' - https://github.com/cristianbuse/VBA-FileTools/issues/2
' - https://github.com/cristianbuse/VBA-FileTools/issues/17
'
' The implementation for mac contains a bunch of peculiarities that are not
' discussed in those issues. In order to understand exactly how the algorithm
' works, as mentioned earlier, it's best to read Cristians implementation:
' - https://github.com/cristianbuse/VBA-FileTools
'
'
' 3) How does this function NOT work?
' There are a plethora of solutions for this problem circulating online.
' A list of most of these solution can be found here:
' - https://stackoverflow.com/a/73577057/12287457
' In the stackoverflow post, detailed testing data is presented for all of
' the mentioned solutions and it can be observed, that, unfortunately,
' most of these alternatives are not very reliable.
' Most are using one of two approaches:
' 1. they use the environment variables set by OneDrive:
' - Environ(OneDrive)
' - Environ(OneDriveCommercial)
' - Environ(OneDriveConsumer)
' and replace part of the URL with it. There are many problems with this
' approach:
' 1. They are not being set by OneDrive on MacOS.
' 2. It is unclear exactly which part of the URL needs to be replaced.
' 3. Environment variables can be changed by the user.
' 4. Only there three exist. If more onedrive accounts are logged in,
' they just overwrite the previous ones.
' or,
' 2. they use the mount points OneDrive writes to the registry here:
' - \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SyncEngines\Providers\OneDrive\
' this also has several drawbacks:
' 1. The registry is not available on MacOS.
' 2. It's still unclear exactly what part of the URL should be replaced.
' 3. These registry keys can contain mistakes, like for example, when:
' - Synchronizing a folder called "Personal" from someone else's
' personal OneDrive
' - Synchronizing a folder called "Business1" from someone else's
' personal OneDrive and then relogging your own first Business
' OneDrive account
' - Relogging you personal OneDrive can change the "CID" property
' from a folderID formatted cid (e.g. 3DEA8A9886F05935!125) to a
' regular private cid (e.g. 3dea8a9886f05935) for synced folders
' from other people's OneDrives
'
' For these reasons, this solution uses a completely different approach to
' solve this problem.
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' COMMENTS REGARDING THE USAGE:
' This function can be used as a User Defined Function (UDF) from the worksheet.
' (More on that, see "USAGE EXAMPLES")
'
' This function offers three optional parameters to the user, however using
' these should only be necessary in extremely rare situations.
' The best rule regarding their usage: Don't use them.
'
' In the following these parameters will still be explained.
'
'1) returnAll
' In some exceptional cases it is possible to map one OneDrive WebPath to
' multiple different localPaths. This can happen when multiple Business
' OneDrive accounts are logged in on one device, and multiple of these have
' access to the same OneDrive folder and they both decide to synchronize it or
' add it as link to their MySite library.
' Calling the function with returnAll:=True will return all valid localPaths
' for the given WebPath, separated by two forward slashes (//). This should be
' used with caution, as the return value of the function alone is, should
' multiple local paths exist for the input webPath, not a valid local path
' anymore.
' An example of how to obtain all of the local paths could look like this:
' Dim localPath as String, localPaths() as String
' localPath = GetLocalPath(webPath, True)
' If Not localPath Like "http*" Then
' localPaths = Split(localPath, "//")
' End If
'
'2) preferredMountPointOwner
' This parameter deals with the same problem as 'returnAll'
' If the function gets called with returnAll:=False (default), and multiple
' localPaths exist for the given WebPath, the function will just return any
' one of them, as usually, it shouldn't make a difference, because the result
' directories at both of these localPaths are mirrored versions of the same
' webPath. Nevertheless, this option lets the user choose, which mountPoint
' should be chosen if multiple localPaths are available. Each localPath is
' 'owned' by an OneDrive Account. If a WebPath is synchronized twice, this can
' only happen by synchronizing it with two different accounts, because
' OneDrive prevents you from synchronizing the same folder twice on a single
' account. Therefore, each of the different localPaths for a given WebPath
' has a unique 'owner'. preferredMountPointOwner lets the user select the
' localPath by specifying the account the localPath should be owned by.
' This is done by passing the Email address of the desired account as
' preferredMountPointOwner.
' For example, you have two different Business OneDrive accounts logged in,
' [email protected] and [email protected]
' Both synchronize the WebPath:
' webPath = "https://business1.sharepoint.com/sites/TestLib/Documents/" & _
"Test/Test/Test/test.xlsm"
'
' The first one has added it as a link to his personal OneDrive, the local
' path looks like this:
' C:\Users\username\OneDrive - Business1\TestLinkParent\Test - TestLinkLib\...
' ...Test\test.xlsm
'
' The second one just synchronized it normally, the localPath looks like this:
' C:\Users\username\Business1\TestLinkLib - Test\Test\test.xlsm
'
' Calling GetLocalPath like this:
' GetLocalPath(webPath,,, "[email protected]") will return:
' C:\Users\username\OneDrive - Business1\TestLinkParent\Test - TestLinkLib\...
' ...Test\test.xlsm
'
' Calling it like this:
' GetLocalPath(webPath,,, "[email protected]") will return:
' C:\Users\username\Business1\TestLinkLib - Test\Test\test.xlsm
'
' And calling it like this:
' GetLocalPath(webPath,, True) will return:
' C:\Users\username\OneDrive - Business1\TestLinkParent\Test - TestLinkLib\...
' ...Test\test.xlsm//C:\Users\username\Business1\TestLinkLib - Test\Test\...
' ...test.xlsm
'
' Calling it normally like this:
' GetLocalPath(webPath) will return any one of the two localPaths, so:
' C:\Users\username\OneDrive - Business1\TestLinkParent\Test - TestLinkLib\...
' ...Test\test.xlsm
' OR
' C:\Users\username\Business1\TestLinkLib - Test\Test\test.xlsm
'
' If `preferredMountPointOwner` does not work on Mac, the following might
' explain a reason and a workaround:
'
' In order to correlate the users email address with the OneDrive account
' CID, the function reads the filenames of the files located in the
' - %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Office\CLP\
' directory.
'
' On MacOS, the \Office\CLP\* exists for each Microsoft Office application
' separately. Depending on whether the application was already used in
' active syncing with OneDrive it may contain different/incomplete files.
' In the code, the path of this directory is stored inside the variable
' 'clpPath'. On MacOS, the defined clpPath might not exist or not contain
' all necessary files for some host applications, because Environ("HOME")
' depends on the host app.
' This is not a big problem as the function will still work, however in
' this case, specifying a preferredMountPointOwner will do nothing.
' To make sure this directory and the necessary files exist, a file must
' have been actively synchronized with OneDrive by the application whose
' "HOME" folder is returned by Environ("HOME") while being logged in
' to that application with the account whose email is given as
' preferredMountPointOwner, at some point in the past!
'
' If you are usually working with Excel but are using this function in a
' different app, you can instead use an alternative (Excels CLP folder) as
' the clpPath as it will most likely contain all the necessary information
' The alternative clpPath is commented out in the code, if you prefer to
' use Excels CLP folder per default, just un-comment the respective line
' in the code.
'
'3) rebuildCache
' The function creates a "translation" dictionary from the OneDrive settings
' files and then uses this dictionary to "translate" WebPaths to LocalPaths.
' This dictionary is implemented as a static variable to the function doesn't
' have to recreate it every time it is called. It is written on the first
' function call and reused on all the subsequent calls, making them faster.
' If the function is called with rebuildCache:=True, this dictionary will be
' rewritten, even if it was already initialized.
' Note that it is not necessary to use this parameter manually, even if a new
' MountPoint was added to the OneDrive, or a new OneDrive account was logged
' in since the last function call because the function will automatically
' determine if any of those cases occurred, without sacrificing performance.

'' USAGE EXAMPLES:
'' Excel:
'Private Sub TestGetLocalPathExcel()
' Debug.Print GetLocalPath(ThisWorkbook.FullName)
' Debug.Print GetLocalPath(ThisWorkbook.path)
'End Sub
'
' Usage as User Defined Function (UDF):
' You might have to replace ; with , in the formulas depending on your settings.
' Add this formula to any cell, to get the local path of the workbook:
' =GetLocalPath(LEFT(CELL("filename";A1);FIND("[";CELL("filename";A1))-1))
'
' To get the local path including the filename (the FullName), use this formula:
' =GetLocalPath(LEFT(CELL("filename";A1);FIND("[";CELL("filename";A1))-1) &
' TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(CELL("filename";A1);"]");"["))
'
''Word:
'Private Sub TestGetLocalPathWord()
' Debug.Print GetLocalPath(ThisDocument.FullName)
' 'Debug.Print GetLocalPath(ThisDocument.Path) '<- Do NOT use this.
' 'Document.Path returns an URL encoded url, e.g. " " -> "%20", therefore
' 'GetLocalPath doesn't work if there are encoded characters in the part
' 'that is supposed to be replaced. Document.FullName doesn't have this
' 'issue. Therefore, instead of GetLocalPath(ThisDocument.Path), use
' 'something like:
' Dim docLocalPath As String: docLocalPath = ThisDocument.path
' If docLocalPath Like "http*" Then
' docLocalPath = GetLocalPath(Left(ThisDocument.FullName, _
' InStrRev(ThisDocument.FullName, "/") - 1))
' End If
' Debug.Print docLocalPath
'End Sub
'
''PowerPoint:
'Private Sub TestGetLocalPathPowerPoint()
' Debug.Print GetLocalPath(ActivePresentation.FullName)
' Debug.Print GetLocalPath(ActivePresentation.path)
'End Sub
''------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'This Function will convert a OneDrive/SharePoint Url path, e.g. Url containing
'https://d.docs.live.net/; .sharepoint.com/sites; my.sharepoint.com/personal/...
'to the locally synchronized path on your current pc or mac, e.g. a path like
'C:\users\username\OneDrive\ on Windows; or /Users/username/OneDrive/ on MacOS,
'if you have the remote directory locally synchronized with the OneDrive app.
'If no local path can be found, the input value will be returned unmodified.

When I stop syncing this folder, the code runs as intended.

Can you please share the contents of the ini file after you've stopped syncing. There is no need for the Items collections anymore. Thanks!

Hi @guwidoe
I was using GetLocalPath since July with no issue as a migration piece to migrate XLS apps from local disck operation to SharePoint operation. However after a final migration has happened I have observed 2 fatal issues and 1 performance issue. Let me share the details:

One after another:
1. SharePoint folder synced from the middle of the Library folder hierarchy

  • When I had a single Sharepoint library synchronized to my laptop from the very top folder (Documents = technically = Shared Documents) then GetLocalPath was working fine e.g.

  • https://gutorelectronic.sharepoint.com/sites/cs-com/Shared Documents - Documents/07. Tools & Application

  • get converted to

  • C:\Users\VlastimilBrezina\GUTOR ELECTRONIC\Customer Service - Department - Documents\07. Tools & Application

  • When I removed this top level synchronization and replaced that with synchronization from lower level, then GetLocalPath started duplicating 1st folder name in the result

  • e.g. https://gutorelectronic.sharepoint.com/sites/cs-com/Shared Documents 07. Tools & Application/App

  • get converted to

  • C:\Users\VlastimilBrezina\GUTOR ELECTRONIC\Customer Service - Department - 07. Tools & Application*07. Tools & Application*\App

It was causing following set of replacements:
item:=Replace(Replace(path, webRoot, locRoot, , 1), "/", ps)

So I started comparing parts of the paths to fix it:

` 'VBR - path adjustment if first part of webpath = last part of local root to avoid doubling Synced Folder name in result
Dim firstpart_webPath As String, lastpart_locRoot As String

            On Error Resume Next
                
                    ' 1st path part of path behind webRoot in between  slashes e.g. Shared Documents/07. Tools & Application/01. CSB
                    firstpart_webPath = Replace(path, webRoot & "/", "") ' remove webRoot and 1 slash then get string up to next slash
                    firstpart_webPath = Left(firstpart_webPath, InStr(1, firstpart_webPath, "/", vbTextCompare) - 1)
'                Debug.Print "firstpart_webPath : " & firstpart_webPath
                    
                    ' last part of local Root - behind last hyphen e.g. ECTRONIC\Customer Service - Department - 07. Tools & Application
                    lastpart_locRoot = ShP_LastRigtAfter(locRoot, " - ")
                
'                Debug.Print "lastpart_locRoot  : " & lastpart_locRoot
            
            On Error GoTo 0
            
            ' VBR now decide if first part of WebPath equal to last part of local root if yes, remove the duplicate
            Dim itemStr As String, adjPath As String
            
            If firstpart_webPath = lastpart_locRoot And Trim(LCase(Left(path, 5))) = "https" Then
                adjPath = Replace(path, firstpart_webPath & "/", "", 1, 1, vbTextCompare)
                itemStr = Replace(Replace(adjPath, webRoot, locRoot, , 1), "/", ps)
                Debug.Print "Adjusted path result : " & itemStr
            Else
                ' previous implementation - doubling rootfolder in case of lower sync level
                itemStr = Replace(Replace(path, webRoot, locRoot, , 1), "/", ps)
                Debug.Print "Converted Path result (no adjustment) : " & itemStr
            End If
            
            
            
            resColl.Add Key:=vItem(2), _
               Item:=itemStr`

2. Multiple sync folders - resColl.Add Key:=vItem(2), Item:=itemStr` fails with error: "Run-tme error 457 This key is already associated with an element of the collection"

3. Issue is performance - if library contains lot of files e.g. a milion, but if synced is just a smarr subfolder - GetLocalPath still takes a lot of time (first run)

Any idea / newer version which is covering cases with multiple sync folders and different then top-level sync ?

Thanks a lot.

In a meanwhile I found that VBA could nicelly work also with https Sharepoint links but following code (e.g. code calculating relative path) has to distinquish if path is https or C:\Users and then decide what separator it should use (\ or /)

Can you please test this solution? Just import the LibFileTools module. The function name is the same but you will have to fully qualify it to avoid clashing with Guido's version i.e. LibFileTools.GetLocalPath. Is 1) and 2) you raised above still an issue using my version? As for 3) the performance should be the same as Guido and I developed both solutions simultaneously.

Can I please ask that you also test the solution I linked in the above comment? If that works then I can make the suggested changes here as well.

I just updated a fork for this gist here. Maybe try this directly.

@itsdalien I am using Office 365 x64 myself. Try downloading from the zip and then import LibFileTools using the Import feature in VBE (do not copy-paste code)
