NGSC Multiple OneDrives
Try going to the settings of your onedrive and using the add account. Sign in with your second onedrive for business account. Afterwards you should be able to sync SharePoint DLs from either accounts.
I havent used the sync button on the web. But I know the above way works.
That does work...thanks. Not necessarily the solution I was looking for. I I have access to folders in Someone else's onedrive via a share can I not use the NGSC to sync those?
Yes. You should be able to.
Go to the share through the web and you can use the sync button. With two different domains you will basically end up seeing 4 areas in file explorer. 2 x for onedrive (each domain). 2 x for SharePoint Libraries, shared folders (for each domain).
Now it may be an issue with the browser. Ive been using Edge and it works fine. Also I am on client 17.3.6816.0313 (from the creators update). Though i had it working on some older clients as well (previous version without creators update).
One of the biggest issues i face myself (and with several others) is the perpetual sync arrows on the icon that appears until a restart of the client. Or the uncertainty from the constant "processing changes" that crops up from time to time.
Jonathon Abel We need to access and sync multiple OneDrives within the same tenant. We are not specifically sharing these out via the OneDrive web page we go into the actual settings of the OneDrive document library and set permissions directly. We may have to change that approach.

If I understand well, you are asking to sync, with NGSC, the folders that have been shared with you. This is a definitely supported scenario.
Go to "Shared with me" in the ODfB web UI, click on the shared folder and then, when you are inside the folder, on the sync button in the action bar.
Be aware that you can't sync single files, though, but only folders. Also, be sure that the option to sync with the new client has been selected in settings.
Hope it helps...
Salvatore Biscari Thank you but that doesnt seem to work for me. When I perform the sync it crashes the OneDrive client. We do not have the setting enabled to use the New Onedrive client in our tenant. We are forcing this using the registry entry that was shipped with the MGSC preview so we are going to test this on a Test Tenant to see if this might be the reason it crashes.
You currently cannot sync "Files Shared with Me" (other people's folders) but that feature is coming in very near future.
