New One. Drive for Business sync client much better but not perfect. On December 1. 5, Microsoft announced that the next generation synchronization client for One.
Drive for Business is now generally available. A preview of the new software had been available since September. Despite many requests, I never managed to get hold of the preview so I was quite happy when Microsoft released the new client, which is available for both Windows and Mac OS X 1. The upgraded synchronization client has been available for some time for the consumer version of One. Drive. In some respects, because the older Groove- based synchronization client was so buggy and unreliable, it’s odd that Microsoft has taken so long to make it available to business customers, but I guess it’s understandable when you consider that they simply had to get it right with this release. The current version still needs some work to support Share. Point Online libraries (including those used by Office 3.

Groups) and Windows 8. In addition, the new client doesn’t support One. Drive for Business when deployed as part of an on- premises Share.
Point 2. 01. 3 installation. Microsoft estimates that the work to fill the gaps will be complete in early 2.
The new client supports Windows 1. Windows 8, and Windows 7 clients now. Behind the scenes, the client monitors changes made to offline copies and uploads them to the server- based libraries. This is where the previous client fell down because it often failed to upload documents, meaning that changes made to documents by users might be overlooked or ignored, which is obviously not what you want in co- authoring scenarios. In addition, the older client had limitations dealing with large files and libraries that stored more than 2. The new client is designed to support files of up to 1.
GB, handle large document libraries, and to provide selective control over synchronization, all of which is what it should be. A reliable and robust synchronization client is needed for Microsoft to persuade customers to replace older document repositories such as Windows- based file servers with cloud services. Given the success of Office 3. In most cases, One. Drive for Business and Share. Point Online are available, but no one will move workload to these platforms if they think that any aspect of document storage is unreliable. The good news is that the new synchronization client exhibits none of the flakiness of its predecessor.
At least, I’ve used it to synchronize One. Drive consumer folders as well as One. Drive for Business document libraries on multiple PCs and encountered no problems to date (touch wood). That’s not to say that the One. Drive synchronization client is perfect because it’s not. Apart from the issues mentioned above (and some odd screen sizing on my Surface Book), some planning and deployment effort is required on the part of Office 3. Microsoft has issued a useful guide for enterprise deployment that explains the process.
If you don’t have the ability to configure registry keys and push software onto user PCs, some manual intervention is required to ensure that the new client is used (the steps are described in this article). It would be better if it was possible to update the One. Drive synchronization client invisibly as the current upgrade process is complex enough to create the potential for error. Microsoft’s announcement text says that they are working on a “more seamless experience for users who are migrating from the existing sync client” that’s planned for the first quarter of 2. We’ll just have to wait to see what is delivered. But the biggest issue is the need to continue using the older One. Drive sync client alongside its newer counterpart if you want to go anywhere near Share.
Point. This state of play puzzles me. Not only is it confusing to administrators, consultants, and users alike (this blog post throws some clarity on the topic), but it also removes a huge amount of goodness from the new sync client. No doubt Microsoft will fix all the problems and bring forward one sync client to rule them all - or at least one capable of synchronizing with more than One. Drive. In the meantime, the opportunity exists to test the new synchronization client and decide how best to introduce the software to users with as little disruption as possible. Microsoft does their best to eliminate bugs from the sync code, but deploying software always creates the potential for user pain. Follow Tony @1. 2Knocksinna.
