This article is for IT administrators in large organizations who want to enable users in their organizations to sync SharePoint team sites with the new OneDrive sync app. Smaller organizations and organizations that are new to Microsoft 365 are already set up to sync OneDrive and SharePoint files with the new OneDrive sync app.
When you enable this feature, users will be able to sync the files in a SharePoint team site to their PCs and Macs using the OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe). As part of this, they will be able to:
- Browse to a SharePoint site or shared folder and click Sync to sync all contents in the document library or only selected folders that are important to them.
- Change the folders they sync directly from their PC or Mac.
- Sync shared folders.
- Sync read-only files and folders.
- Coauthor files in real time with Office 2016 (C2R build 16.0.7167.2xxx or MSI build 16.0.4432.100x)
- Automatically transition from the previous OneDrive sync app (Groove.exe)
Deploy and configure the OneDrive sync app
To enable users in your organization to sync SharePoint team sites with the OneDrive sync app, you first need to deploy the OneDrive sync app to your organization.
See Deploy the new OneDrive sync app using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
See Deploy and configure the new OneDrive sync app for Mac
For info about the latest sync app releases, see New OneDrive sync app release notes.
Set SharePoint to sync with the OneDrive sync app
- Go to the Settings page of the new SharePoint admin center, and sign in with an account that has admin permissions for your organization.
Note
If you have Office 365 Germany, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center, then browse to the SharePoint admin center and open the Settings page.
If you have Office 365 operated by 21Vianet (China), sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center, then browse to the SharePoint admin center and open the Settings page.
If you have Office 365 operated by 21Vianet (China), sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center, then browse to the SharePoint admin center and open the Settings page.
- Select classic settings page.
- Make sure 'OneDrive Sync Button' is set to 'Show the Sync button.'To sync SharePoint files with the new client, you must also sync OneDrive files with the new client.
- For 'Sync Client for SharePoint,' select Start the new client.NoteIf you don't see the 'Sync Client for SharePoint' setting on the Settings page, your organization is already set up to use the new OneDrive sync app. When users sign in to the OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe), it will automatically take over syncing the site libraries that the previous new OneDrive sync app (Groove.exe) was syncing. For information about how this works, and about the types of libraries that will continue syncing with the previous sync app, see Transition from the previous OneDrive for Business sync app.
- Select OK.These changes take several hours to propagate. To check that they've propagated, go to a SharePoint site and select Sync. In the browser dialog that confirms the request to open a program, the 'Program' should appear as 'Microsoft OneDrive' and the 'Address' should start with 'odopen://'

Updates and rings | Windows Notification Service | Files On-Demand and Storage Sense | Office integration | Silent account configuration | Known Folder Move |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Allow traffic. Select some people for the Insiders ring and leave the rest in Production | Allow traffic | Keep Files On-Demand enabled and enable Storage Sense policies | Keep Office collaboration enabled | Enable the policy | Enable the policies |
Updates and rings
- Allow access to oneclient.sfx.ms and g.live.com. Computers must be able to reach these URLs to apply updates and bug fixes, and enable or disable features. Updates are installed automatically, so you don't need to package and deploy them. Because OneDrive runs in the background, updates are also installed silently and don't impact users.
- Use the Insiders and Production rings. Select several people in your IT department as early adopters to join the Insiders ring and receive features early. Leave everyone else in the organization on the default Production ring to ensure they receive bug fixes and new features in a timely fashion. This recommendation applies even if you are on the Semi-Annual Channel for Windows and Office. For more info, see Sync app update process. To set the update ring on Windows, see Set the sync app update ring. To set it on Mac, see Deploy and configure the new OneDrive sync app for Mac.
Windows Notification Service

- Make sure connection to the service is enabled. Work with your network team to make sure proxies:
- Allow network traffic to bypass *.wns.windows.com
- Avoid HTTPS decryption for *.wns.windows.com.
This applies to both Windows and Mac. See the complete list of required URL and IP address ranges.
Files On-Demand and Storage Sense
Onedrive For Mac Shared Folders
- Keep Files On-Demand enabled. OneDrive Files On-Demand helps users access all their files (individual or shared) without having to download them and use storage space. This setting is on by default for Windows 10 and Mac. To check this setting for Windows, see Use OneDrive Files On-Demand. To check it for Mac, see Deploy and configure the new OneDrive sync app for Mac.
- Use Storage Sense policies on PCs. These policies let you automatically clean up 'locally available' files users haven't explicitly pinned as 'always available'. More info about Storage policies
Onedrive Shared Folder In Explorer
Office integration
- Keep Office file collaboration enabled Office uses differential sync to sync only changes instead of the entire file each time. This makes sync faster and reduces network bandwidth. This setting is on by default on Windows and Mac. For more info, see Coauthor and share in Office desktop apps. For info about this setting for Mac, see Deploy and configure the new OneDrive sync app for Mac.
Silent account configuration
- Silently configure user accounts on PCs. When you enable the silent account configuration policy, users are signed in automatically so they don't need to open OneDrive or enter their password. For more info, see Use silent account configuration.
Known Folder Move
Windows users are familiar and comfortable with saving files to their Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders from years of developing it as a habit. When you redirect and move these folders to OneDrive, users can continue saving files to these locations and they're backed up and available from any device. For more info, see Redirect known folders.
