My experience with the new OneDrive Team Site Sync
Microsoft announced at Ignite that the new preview OneDrive client would sync full Team Sites, link here: https://blogs.office.com/2016/09/26/sharepoint-online-sync-preview-headlines-ignite-announcem...
Or when using Internet Explorer, go to add-ons and disable Groove Site Client ActiveX
Well I found out that the onedrive client doesn't create the grvopen:// assignment in the user registry. If I manually add the information
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\grvopen]
@="URL: OneDrive Client Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\grvopen\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\OneDrive.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\grvopen\shell]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\grvopen\shell\open]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\grvopen\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\OneDrive.exe /url:\"%1\""
It starts to work as expected. I will have to reinstall my computer and see if I can reproduce the error.

- I had the same issue with IE on a few clients, just disabled Groove Site Client ActiveX and I could use IE.
Do you guys have the registry keys that I posted earlier?
Same here, grvopen only works with firefox so far. Colleagues of mine figured out to get it work with ie as well (some active x / add-in problem).
I couldn't get mine to sync Team Sites so I click on Feedback. Somebody from Microsoft called me back within 10 minutes to assist. The solution was to use Chrome. Go figure!
