Sync Problems, again, and again, and again
OK I think I see the issue here - we all do use the new sync client - but groups seem to insist on using the old Groove one to do the sync, which is probably why we see so much trouble.
It does not seem to be that obvious how to disable the sync using Groove, and force it use the One Drive - company name client.
the online guides indicate it will automatically work it out but not seemign to work. Could I ask if there is a known working guide as to how to force the old client to stop working - or is it safe to try to uninstall the Groove client that 2013/2016 presumably is bundled with?
Yes you can uninstall the groove bundled client using the office deployment tool.
