Our Microsoft 365 organization name is long, and it appears in the local path when users sync SharePoint libraries. Where can I change it, and is there a way to shorten the path without changing the company name used for billing?
Can I shorten the organization name in SharePoint sync paths?

Check the Entra admin center. Under Entra ID, go to Overview, then Properties, and look for the Name field. Save the shorter name there.
That changes the directory organization name, not necessarily the billing or legal entity information. The source discussion raises a concern about mismatched billing details, so check what the change affects before applying it broadly.

There may be a separate option for shortening the sync folder name without renaming the whole organization. Check whether that option is available in your tenant. You may still need to unlink and relink OneDrive for an existing setup.

Keep the billing name question separate from the sync path question. If the billing field is locked or needs to match the legal entity, don't change it just to save characters in Windows paths. Check the directory name or the sync naming option instead.

Does changing the name update existing sync paths automatically?

Existing OneDrive sync connections may need to be unlinked and set up again. Test with one device first rather than assuming every local path will update.
