May 25, 2017NGSC Multiple OneDrives
I have read where the NGSC has the capability to sync only one Personal OneDrive but multiple Business OneDrives. I have mine set up to sync my Business OneDrive and it works great. When I attempt to...
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?

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.

The reg setting applied only to preview builds: with current builds it is irrelevant. (In any case it had nothing to do with the client launch at the press of the sync button.)
If you want to sync (with NGSC) libraries different from the user's main ODfB library, then you have to enable the setting.
Hope it helps...
We are seeing different results than you mention. In our production tenant we still have the "Start the old client" option selected for the OneDrive Sync Button and the Sync Client for SharePoint settings. We left these this way because we have users that still use the old client and didn't want to impact them. We are currently going through a Windows 10 rollout and will be converting them to the new client then.
We have found that with the "Start the old client" setting enabled and without the registry entry our Windows 10 users cannot sync Sharepoint libraries. If we enter the registry key on the Windows 10 PC then they can sync the libraries. We are on build 17.3.6799.0327.
