Starting in October 2017, we're changing how the previous OneDrive for Business sync app installs for enterprise customers using Office 365 ProPlus or Office 2016 with Click-to-Run.

Mar 15, 2019  Open OneDrive on a PC running Windows 10 and sign in. Select Files Music and then select the music folder or folders you want to move. Select Download. Navigate to the location you saved the folder or folders and unzip them. Add music to Groove on.

  • The previous OneDrive for Business sync app (Groove.exe) will no longer be installed by default with Office 2016 Click-to-Run. If your organization provides an Office deployment configuration file to Setup.exe, you'll need to update your file to exclude Groove from the install.

  • When not in use or running, the previous OneDrive for Business sync app (Groove.exe) will be uninstalled, unless: (a) Groove is already configured to sync one or more SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server libraries or (b) a 'PreventUninstall' registry key is present on the computer.

These changes won't affect Office 365 customers who are already using the new OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) to sync OneDrive and SharePoint files. Neither will these changes affect enterprises who have deployed Office with the traditional Windows Installer-based (MSI) method.

  2. Sep 30, 2017  Groove for Mac? Any chance of a Groove app for Macintosh computers? Microsoft already produces Office for Mac and Groove for iOS, so I know the two companies aren't totally averse to working together. The web client is certainly OK, but I do miss the.

Note

The new OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) is the recommended option for Office 365 and SharePoint Server 2019+ customers. However, the previous OneDrive for Business sync app (Groove.exe) is still fully supported and is used for on-premises instances of OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Server. Which version of OneDrive am I using?

Ensuring Groove.exe is no longer installed

When these changes roll out, the previous OneDrive for Business sync app (Groove.exe) will no longer be installed by default when a user installs Office 2016 via Click-to-Run. If your organization provides an Office deployment configuration file to Setup.exe, you'll need to update your file to exclude Groove from the install.

To exclude Groove in your deployment, add this to your config file:

For more information about configuration options, see Configuration options for the Office 2016 Deployment Tool.

To override the default behavior and make sure the previous OneDrive for Business sync app installs and stays installed, you'll need to provide a config file that doesn't exclude Groove.exe. Also, you'll need to set the 'PreventUninstall' registry key on all computers where you need Groove.exe installed, so that the process doesn't uninstall Groove.exe.

Uninstalling Groove when not in use

On Office upgrade, the installer runs on each computer to detect whether Groove.exe is currently in use or the 'PreventUninstall' registry key is set. If either Groove.exe is in use or the registry key is set, Groove.exe is left in place. Otherwise, if Groove.exe isn't in use and the registry key isn't set, Groove.exe gets uninstalled automatically on that computer.

Who these changes affect and when

These changes will affect organizations who have deployed the previous OneDrive for Business sync app to sync on-premises SharePoint libraries, or libraries that have Information Rights Management enabled on them.

The following table shows more detail about which Office installations are affected by these changes and when. All these changes are Office client-level changes rolled out across clients, and are not turned on organization by organization.

Unless you need Groove.exe for some of your scenarios (for example, syncing on-premises SharePoint files), we strongly recommend leaving the new defaults in place and excluding Groove.exe from Office 2016 installations.
