-->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

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.
Note
If 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://'
