Two days ago on December 14th a new production version of the new OneDrive Sync Client for both Windows and Mac were released. 1) Windows (Version 17.3.6720.1207) 2) Mac (Version 17.3.6720.1207) There is a link to download each client from the New OneDrive sync client release notes. In our estate we have user running Version 17.3.6517.0809 and are not sure if this update will remove the older GROOVE.EXE client and deliver the following capabilities: 1) the ability to Sync SharePoint site libraries. 2) the ability to sync data shared with you by someone else Has anyone yet rolled this out to you end users and how did you tackle this? We have a combination of unmanaged Windows 7 and managed Windows 10 clients and Macs (for which we already have a client update strategy) Cheers, Richard.
Unfortunately, the link to the Windows version contained in, still points to version 17.3.6517.0809. It appears that it is not possible to download directly the bits of newer production releases (assuming that such bits are actually different from the bits of preview releases, which is not perfectly clear.). On the other hand, for all my regular (i.e. Not preview) users, yesterday the the latest OneDrive sync client (NGSC version 17.3.6720.1207) has been automatically downloaded and installed.
