Previously, there was only one way to synchronize and that was to update all of the users\u2019 libraries on their machines. Many times, the cache was corrupted and it resulted in a lot of downloading &amp; monitoring sync files of the users. However, the wait has ended with the new version.<\/p>\n<p>The New OneDrive sync client works with Azure synchronization service. It uses the Incremental sync method, which does not create cache on the machine. Cache is kept on Azure Cloud and does not create any entry on the user\u2019s machine, making it faster and more stable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0How to Enable OneDrive.exe in Office and Microsoft 365<\/h2>\n<p>Before starting with new sync client, make sure that OneDrive.exe is enabled.

However, Microsoft recommends avoiding Deep nesting of folders and keep the names of files short.<\/li>\n<li>30 million files can be uploaded to a single library. However, Microsoft recommends structuring the data properly into multiple folders and libraries.<\/li>\n<li>&lt;, &gt;, :, &#8220;, |, ?, *, \/, \\ are invalid characters and cannot be used while syncing the file names.<\/li>\n<li>If you already have some libraries synced through Groove.exe, we recommend first to stop sync them and create a backup of local folders in case you have errors on the sync folders. However, if your sync is running properly, you can directly install and sign in to New sync client and it will automatically take over the sync process.<\/li>\n<li>If OneDrive sync is stuck for a long time and not syncing any changes to Cloud, you then can reset the application process. Be aware that this process will start resyncing all your synced libraries. In order to Start Reset, open Run window and enter %localappdata%\\Microsoft\\OneDrive\\onedrive.exe \/reset. The OneDrive icon will disappear and reappear in few minutes from the Taskbar and if not, you then can search for Microsoft OneDrive in the Start menu and reopen it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft introduced a replacement to the old version of OneDrive for Business synchronization.
