OneDrive Next gen sync client preview - Update 17.3.6705.1122
Is there any "official" download way of the new client (17.3.6705.1122) or is the only way to wait until Microsoft decides when "my" client is updated or visit Hans Brenders page and download it from there?
I'm using the download link available here.
Again, Microsoft makes it confusing... having the same version number on two different versions.
It looks confusing.
Preview Version
You have to do something manually, setting a registry key,.... then you are able to sync
- Team sites
- Groups
- Shared with me
but without that, then you use this version as a Released Version
or see here
OK, so it seems like there is only one version of 17.3.6705.1122. I've compared all the downloads I could find:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=823059
With Microsoft's FIle Checksum Integrity Verifier (fciv.exe) here, they all return the same checksum:
b7e53880231e38e2ef063af2f592e2d0
But I guess all clients and tenants will be updated eventually automatically whenever Microsoft think it's time.
However, on the Microsoft instructions cause some confusion for me at least. It says:
If you are currently syncing sites and libraries using the previous OneDrive sync client (Groove.exe), then this preview automatically takes over syncing those sites libraries.
But then just a few lines later they have instructions to "To set up team site sync using the OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client" which means adding the registry key.
So it seems like it will automatically fix sites and libraries but you have to manually put the registry key for team sites. Correct? In that case I didn't realize they were two different things.
