The relevant policy is "Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage". You should disable it.

I'm looking at my DC's GPOs and can't find the setting described as recommended by Salvatore.

    A couple of things:

    1. Have you installed the latest adm templates on the DC?
    2. Could the policy be instead configured locally on the affected machine(s)?

      Had same issue on my laptop, NGSC was set to 1 every time I run "gpupdate /force", but I couldn't find which GPO changed it. Finally from gpreport.html, I found "Winning GPO" is "Local Group Policy". Run gpedit and found "Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ OneDrive\ Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage" in local policy.

      Disabled it and the problem is fixed.

      The latest admx policy file that I can find has a SkyDrive file, not a onedrive. I must not be looking in the right place.
