Groove Sync Client bad! - When will the new client be compatible with SharePoint!

Seems like every call the help desk ends needing assitance with has something to do with the groove.exe sync client. Just wondering when the new client will be ready for SharePoint doc libs?

Hi Robert,

The ability to sync SharePoint Document Libraries using OneDrive client (next generation) will be in Preview during Q3, and the GA build will be during Q4.

Thanks,

Lior

Interesting. I thought the new sync client had already been released. Certainly I'm syncing SharePoint libraries to my Windows 10 PC (and have been for at least a month). I'd really like to have the same functionality on my Mac too. Is that on the roadmap.

    Lior, Thank you.
    
    I do understand the path to upgrade my 1200 users. Questions have arisen from my helpdesk around new office 365 installs. Will the Groove.exe client be removed from the c2r package available at office.com and replaced with the NGSC? If so when? Will the Groove.exe client eventually be removed from the currently installed c2r suite in a future update if customers are running the NGSC?
