OneDrive and SharePoint work together to make storing and accessing all your files simple and powerful. We recently outlined a vision for file management in Office 365 that included a set of new features, such as simplified file sharing (both inside and outside your organization), the ability to copy files directly from OneDrive to SharePoint, mobile access to all your Office 365 files on iOS and the innovative Discover view that uses Microsoft Graph to suggest relevant and trending files.
Today at Ignite, Microsoft is proud to announce new sync, browser, mobile and IT capabilities for you!

Hey Lana,
This really is great news, however, I have a few questions around the concept.
I have more questions around the future of OneDrive but for now I think this gives me what I need :).
P.S keep up the good work, this really is a step in the right direction!!!

Great news!
OneDrive context menu seems to be missing though. I can no longer right-click a file in Windows Explorer, choose OneDrive > Copy link to get the SPO url for the file/folder. That's something our users use all the time in ODFB/groove.exe.
Anybody else having same issue - or not?

How are people enabling the team site sync within the next gen sync tool? It seems people have been able to test this out already?

Don't look for the 'next gen sync tool preview' or you'll end up with last years announcement. This is the 'sharepoint sync preview' and the link to how to install the software is at:
They call it the OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client, which is confusing (to me at least), since that was released last year.

Pfff, after the renaming orgy of SkyDrive, OneDrive, Lync, Skype for Business, Groove, OneDrive for Business, you still get confused by a little more renaming?

So am I right in saying this simply alters the registry for the current NGSC client and allows the syncing of the SharePoint sites through a single client now?
Another question I have, how do you remove the Groove client when I can't directly see a Install for it in appwiz.cpl?
Many thanks.

With sync being ever more effective in actually sharing and working on content together, why are features like alert me or check out not available? I can see these suggestions in uservoice, but wondering if someone might have some insights.

Not an actual insight but only my opinion and experience as a software consultant:

Sure. It is just like putting someone in a car at 100 miles an hour and telling him the brakes will be added next week. Users are asking for it and don't understand why these basic features are missing. It hinders them from actually using OneDrive effectively. Hopefully these features will come soon.

How will we know if the preview app has been updated.
Will it update in the usual way?
Will we get a notification?
Do we just have to work it out ourselves?

Version number of the new Sync Client? Surely this would change??
Oct 25 2016 02:26 AM
By the way, new build 17.3.6673.1011 appeared. Any ideas how to receive notifications new preview appears? I see this info from time to time only in different blogs.
