No, I'm referencing the Windows client. I've looked at the version number and it is listed as 17.3.6.6720.1207.

The latest version is 17.3.6743.1212. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version. See if that helps.

  Hello Peter,
  
  You can get even the current latest version (v17.3.6743.1212) from https://hansbrender.com/2016/11/28/onedrive-for-business-next-generation-sync-client-all-versions/ who dived deep into the NextGen Sync client.
  
  Also don't forget to set:
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OneDrive] "TeamSiteSyncPreview"=dword:00000001
  To use all latest functionalities.
  See detailed instructions here (sorry seems in Dutch only): https://support.office.com/nl-nl/article/Ga-aan-de-slag-met-het-synchroniseren-van-SharePoint-sites-met-de-nieuwe-synchronisatieclient-van-OneDrive-Preview-6de9ede8-5b6e-4503-80b2-6190f3354a88
  
  I also got some error messages that I was not able to sync shared OneDrive or SP TeamSites but after remove the current sync relation and re-set it up it worked, however not completely good but at least there is a start.
  Also use Edge instead of IE11 when clicking the Sync Now button in your browser under your SP TeamSite or Shared with Me docs (in my case IE11 does nothing, while Edge opens the NG Sync Client).
