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.

Hi,

 

I've been using it in our company and with several customers with succes. But I figured if I'd download the latest OneDrive client and install it on Windows 8.1 (or Windows 7), it would have the same on-demand features, which isn't. It's correct that files on-demand is only available with Windows 10 Fall creators update?

 

Thanks!

That's correct, it's only available with the Windows 10 Fall creators update. There is a UserVoice idea to ask for wider support but it's relatively unlikely.
