Any chance you might be able to expand on this? I don't dislike OneDrive, but I've started to run into more and more issues with various machines falling out of sync unless I restart the OneDrive service to force changes to be detected... Dropbox has the same issue on those machines, so I'm not really sure what 'causes it.
- the_ancient 10y agoOneDrive and OneDrive for Business used different client, the "Current" OneDrive for Business is the "groove" client, it basically a simply file scanner and sync to a Sharepoint Document Libary, it is terrible (This is the same Client that is Integrated into Office 2016/2013 as well... awful) the OneDrive "Consumer" client was/is based on the orginal Live Mesh product that MS bought Last year MS announced they were merging the Code Base and Having OneDrive for business operate on the better OneDrive for Business Client, this is the Code name "Next Generation" Client for OneDrive for Business. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/OneDrive-for-Business-Next-Generation-Sync-Client-release-notes-845dcf18-f921-435e-bf28-4e24b95e5fc0 https://support.office.com/en-us/article/OneDrive-for-Busine... Dropbox clients is still better than both of MS offerings however.
- basch 10y ago>merging the Code Base and Having OneDrive for business operate on the better OneDrive for Business Client You got that backwards. Mesh is the good client, groove is the bad one. The next gen one is the consumer client getting sharepoint support. Currently, right now, mesh can sync OneDrive for Business but not OneDrive Groups.
- basch 10y agoThe exe for syncing sharepoint libraries is groove.exe and it is called the OneDrive for Business Client. For everything else now, you use OneDrive instead.
