The maximum path length was increased in Version 17.3.6915.0529. (Instead, Version 17.3.6915.0607 contains only a minor fix.) Anyway, Version 17.3.6915.0607 is now rolling out and will reach everyone shortly (see https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/New-OneDrive-sync-client-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0?ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB).

The NGSC update mechanism is totally independent, so it doesn't matter if you you are in FR or not (see https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/The-OneDrive-sync-client-update-process-2f748bc6-6f01-4406-a791-ec047f066d6d).

The official link to download the latest fully released version (for Windows) is https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=844652.

AFAIK, there is no official Microsoft link to download in advance not fully released version.

So, the only thing to do is to wait... ;-)

each day a new release?
so my latest version is 17.3.6941.0614 , which was automatically updated from 17.3.6931.0609. But I do not found it on Microsoft Change log.

 

I have built my own with downloads here

But with exceptions... you do not need to download it manually. The Next Generation Sync Clinet will be updated automatically.
