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?

MicrosoftThere 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...- David Rosenthal
I'm on 17.3.6743.1212 and all the new stuff is running. If that is what version you are on, there may be some other factors stopping you. You can try forcing Office updates potentially, but proceed at your own risk!
Go to any Office application (Word, Excel, etc) and do File --> Account --> Update Options button --> Update Now. You're on your own if you start getting angry emails or visits from IT. :)
- With this version of OneDrive I still get OneDrive for Business (Groove.exe) doing the sync. For Office ProPlus we are on the First Release for Deferred Channel and there are no more updates to apply. I thought this sync behavior was driven by the OneDrive sync client and not an office component?
