My understanding is the following:
- OneDrive Build 17.3.6743.1212 behaves differently based on the fact that you have the preview reg key installed or not: without the reg key you don't get the new features; with the reg key you get the new features (but technically you are still running a preview, i.e. a beta). Newer builds will be released as GA and everyone will get the new features.
- OneDrive NGSC (i.e. onedrive.exe) updates are (at least for now) released independently from Office 2016 C2R updates (which comprise instead Groove updates). Nevertheless, and not surprisingly, you need the latest Office 2016 C2R updates to leverage all the features that Office gives in connection to the latest OneDrive.
