OneDrive sync client - How can I download the latest version?

Hi I'm trying to download the latest OneDrive sync client from: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/New-OneDrive-sync-client-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0?ui=en-US&rs=e...

my blog post about that. Keep in mind, no automatism, you have to set the registry key manually. it is the same version like the preview.

It is not clear if version 17.3.6674.1021 is still a preview version or it is a production version.

You can download it (officially presented as a preview version) from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=823059

According to Hans Brender (https://hansbrender.com/2016/11/27/onedrive-for-business-next-generation-sync-client-alle-versionen/) it is already a production version.

Nevertheless, at the moment, as you have already noticed, there is not a download link officially presented as a production version.

Anyway, if it is really a production version (i.e. SharePoint sync has reached GA), the standard client will be soon automatically updated.

Microsoft The Netherlands informed me the new version is GA end of december. So as far is I know the version downloaded from the link I posted it is still in Preview (and it still has some bugs as you can read in another post).

  We will see...

    Even if it were a "Preview" version, how could I download it?
