First and most importantly, the company launched its next-generation OneDrive for Business sync client Wednesday, which should bring increased speed and reliability to the experience of using Microsoft’s enterprise cloud storage on a computer. It’s also compatible with Windows 7, 8.1, and 10, along with Mac OS versions 10.9 and later. The latter is a major shift for OneDrive for Business, which previously only offered a sync client on Windows.
With the release of this sync client, OneDrive for Business is now using the same syncing code that powers the consumer version of OneDrive. It’s supposed to be faster and more reliable, in addition to including new features like the ability to selectively sync only certain files and folders from Microsoft’s cloud onto a local device.
