Announcement: OneDrive brings new file collaboration and management features to the enterprise
MicrosoftThis is all awesome, and was fairly painless for my org. We already have this fully running for all users! I'm already getting thank you notes from users who are incredibly happy they don't have to deal with groove.exe anymore :smileyhappy:
Some quick feedback for you. The instructions on this page ( https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Enable-users-to-sync-SharePoint-files-with-the-new-OneDrive-sync-client-22e1f635-fb89-49e0-a176-edab26f69614?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US ) are not very clear, and some of them were completely unneccessary, at least for my org.
All we had to do was flip the new 'Sync client for SharePoint' setting to 'Start the new client' and wait a few hours and this was running for all users. That step should be called out very plainly and prominently, where all the rest with messing with registry, terminal commands etc should be better identified for when it applies. I'm guessing it fits for certain scenarios, but it was not needed for us.
- Thanks for sharing this information. We already have 'Start the new client' enabled but I haven't received the update yet. Does anyone have an idea on how long this could take? And is it at all influenced by our Deferred deployment settings in Office ProPlus?

There are a few things you should check from down in the comments on the Office Blogs post. One of them is making sure you've done the January Office updates. Not sure, but I think the deferred channel might not have those yet?
- So the implication is that the OneDrive updates are tied to the Office ProPlus updates? I always assumed they were separate since the documentation mentions it auto-updates but no mention of ProPlus that I saw.
Any idea where I can download the latest release? I've tried a few different places and get the 6743 build.
Thanks, Bruce...
