This feature prompts users who are signed into a personal Microsoft account on a Windows device and actively using their corporate OneDrive to also sign into OneDrive with their personal account. Once signed in, users can access both their personal and corporate OneDrive accounts on the same device—without merging content. The prompt is enabled by default and only appears if a personal account is already in use on the device. Organizations that have previously restricted personal account usage with the DisablePersonalSync policy will not see the prompt. Administrators can also suppress it using the DisableNewAccountDetection policy.
