New Sync Client vs Groove.exe
Hello Experts,
I am looking for the difference between New-Gen OneDrive Sync Client and Groove.exe. As NGSC is there in market for quite a while and still evolving day by day, need to know what is major reason for NGSC to roll out and phase out Groove.exe.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,

This is what i have gathered in some days, Feel free to let me know if there is any addition/ modification require if the content is wrong.
Limitations and differences among the two:
New Gen Sync Client – OneDrive For Business
Groove Sync Client
Less prone to errors and more stable due to continuous enhancements
Was prone to errors and was less stable
Sync is fast
Sync was slow
File Size Sync limit is more
File Size Sync is less
Can only sync with OneDrive Online and SharePoint 2019
For SharePoint 2016 and older libraries, Groove is the only option

jcgonzalezmartin Thanks for the link, but I have already gone through this.
This link doesn't explained what groove.exe lacked which was overcome by NGSC and forced for its rollout. In other words, I am looking for the differences specifically.
Thanks again!! Any other links which could explain what I am looking for and can guide me, is welcome. 🙂
