Read Only (Padlock Icon) files - OFDB 17.3.6743.1212

I am currently using the ODFB preview client 17.3.6743.1212 to sync a single group and a single SharePoint online document library.  The Office 365 group library is working as expected but all the do...

Tested again with the latest build. No changes. With mandatory metadata, the sync is read-only.

 

Fall Creators update is expected to ship very soon. I really hope this is fixed. I have clients waiting for this feature but this is useless with this type of restrictions.

      The answer is here. It has been working for me for quite a while. The only addition is that you have to change the value in both of the areas if regedit in my screen shot. Go back to Groove.exe.

       

       

      You really have to search if you want to fix their great new features.

      Not to mention, this method doesn't ever work, you also have to set SPOTeamSiteRestrictions to 0 as well. Now I was FINALLY able to sync using the old client.

    I also need this fix! Can't sync files that need checkout!
