Announcement: OneDrive Sync Updates
I'm also interested in the future of the Mac desktop sync client updates... any clue as to when the ability to sync shared folders will be rolled out?

Missing this feature as well. Our org has started to open up for Outlook Groups, for projects and smaller teams but unfortunately thouse on Mac's (several 1000'sn) cant use the sharepoint sync feature.
ODfB work great with in the st.alone client (thanks of that btw) and there is a "https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Enable-users-to-sync-SharePoint-files-with-the-new-OneDrive-sync-client-22e1f635-fb89-49e0-a176-edab26f69614?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US" (not so great) but it does not work in my case.
In Safari, When you hit the sync button -> sync now, in SP Documents folder it asks you for permison to open ODfB client, but you dont get the option to select the folder and sync it to you Mac.
in Chrome it does not open the ODfB client.
Aha! Thanks for the info. Had to look it up... in case anyone else is interested:

Fingers crossed...
Tune into the SharePoint Virtual Summit tomorrow where we will be demoing this feature and annoucing the rollout dates!
Just noticed an announcement in our admin message center (dated 5/8/17) about upcoming improvements to the "sharing experience" for OneDrive for Business (specifically mentioning the sync clients). Does anyone from the community know if this might have anything to do with the/my eagerly-awaited Mac desktop sync client shared folder functionality?
