    Hi shocko,

    the scheduled task that tries to update the OneDrive for Business Client Sync App on Windows (version 23+) can be configured to use a web proxy and proxy authentication.:

    1. Open the Task Scheduler.
    2. Expand the Task Scheduler Library node.
    3. Expand the Microsoft node.
    4. Expand the OneDrive node.
    5. Select the Scheduled Update task.
    6. Right-click the task and select Properties.
    7. Click the Triggers tab.
    8. Click the Edit button for the trigger that you want to configure.
    9. Click the Settings tab.
    10. Under Run only if the following network connection is available, select the Any connection option.
    11. Click the OK button.
    12. Click the Actions tab.
    13. Click the Edit button for the action that you want to configure.
    14. Click the Settings tab.
    15. Under Proxy, select the Use a proxy server for your LAN option.
    16. Enter the proxy server address and port number in the corresponding fields.
    17. If you need to use proxy authentication, select the Specify authentication credentials option and enter your username and password in the corresponding fields.
    18. Click the OK button.
    19. Click the OK button to close the Task Properties dialog box.

    Once you have configured the scheduled task to use a web proxy, the OneDrive for Business Client Sync App will update using the proxy server.
