One Drive On Demand

Hi,   I just installed Windows 10 Fall Creators Update yesterday to try out the One Drive On Demand.  It works well, however I was hoping it would have integration with One Drive for Business.    ...

    Also, this might be of interest, here is more info about the previous OneDrive sync client (Groove.exe) and Office 365 ProPlus, that it won't be installed by default and may be uninstalled if present already, from this month onwards.

    "Note: The new OneDrive sync client (OneDrive.exe) is the recommended option for Office 365 customers. However, the previous OneDrive for Business sync client (Groove.exe) is still fully supported and is used for on-premises instances of OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Server."

     

    Sounds like you are up and running with Files On-Demand but here is more info - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Learn-about-OneDrive-Files-On-Demand-0e6860d3-d9f3-4971-b321-7092438fb38e.

If you mean the old OneDrive for Business (Groove) client, that's all deprecated now. You can use the new, next-gen sync client, which supports both Personal and O365 accounts. And Files on demand.

    I think they are also removing it from O365 in an upcoming install and it'll uninstall from your clients when office is updated IF it's not been configured.

    So you are recommending One Drive Only and not One Drive for Business?  How to I uninstall One Drive for Business and also, can I have two accounts on my One Drive session?

     

    For example, I'm logged into my tablet as my work office 365 account, but would also like to sync my personal one drive account.  can that be done?

      Yes with the Next Generation Sync client you can have both your personal OneDrive and Corporate OneDrive setup.  However, there is a GPO setting that can prevent syncing of your personal OneDrive

      Yes, I have on my system and it works pretty well. In fact I have the old Groove client running as well.

      In my taskbar I see three "cloud" icons:

      - OneDrive For Business, synced with my on premises MySite at a SharePoint 2013 farm 

      - OneDrive for Business synced with my OneDrive in my cloud tenant

      - OneDrive synced with my Personal OneDrive account (that one shows as a "white" cloud)
