Sync SharePoint files with the OneDrive sync client (Groove.exe)

Important: 
Support for the old OneDrive for Business sync app with SharePoint Online has ended. If you see this  OneDrive for business old iconicon in your taskbar, read this article to learn more. 

This article describes how to sync Microsoft SharePoint files so you can work with them directly in File Explorer and access them even when you're offline.

IMPORTANT: If your organization has a Microsoft 365 or 21 Vianet subscription, your IT admin might have enabled the OneDrive sync app (OneDrive.exe) for file syncing. To find out which version of the sync app you have, see Which OneDrive app? To learn about syncing with the new OneDrive sync app, see Sync SharePoint files with the new OneDrive sync app.

If your organization keeps your OneDrive or SharePoint sites on premises, or hasn't yet enabled the new sync app in your organization, you need to use the previous OneDrive sync app as described in this article.

Note: On-premises SharePoint and OneDrive for work or school files can't be synced to a Mac computer.

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.
