    It may take up to an hour for storage changes to take effect on user devices. It may take up to five minutes for the changes to take effect on the server. Enabling and disabling storage providers affects what storage resources are visible at any given time for users, but has no such impact on the server. If this option is not selected, users can't access the fileshare and receive the following error message on the device: "Data sources could not be retrieved. Unable to connect to the server".
Add repositories in the storage provider. For more information, see Managing Repositories in an on-premises environment.
