Even after installing the latest OneDrive client<\/a> your SharePoint team sites doesn\u2019t support selective sync (select folders), and the limitation is still only 5000 files. The reason is that you use groove.exe for SP libraries. Here\u2019s my step by step guide to get rid of that old Groove.exe sync client, and start using OneDrive.exe client for SharePoint team sites once and for all. Read on\u2026 \"Smilefjes\"<\/p>\n

STEP1<\/strong>: First stop syncing all libraries by rightclicking the dark blue OneDrive for Business icon in systray

* And also if you have an older onedrive.exe version uninstall it from Programs and Features

STEP 2.<\/strong> Exit OneDrive for business sync aka Groove.exe \u2013 and notice stop syncing a folder\u2026 is greyed out \u2013if not repeat STEP 1.

After you exit you can rename old synced sites and OD4B, so that you can delete and save space later (you might not wanna sync all folders wiht the new client), and also for backup purposes. These folders are located in your user profile (se pic)

If you like to get rid of Groove.exe totally you can simply just rename the groove.exe file to groove.exe_old, locate the file by searching in win10 and find the location, on my win10 + click&run version of office 2016 it was: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Root\\Office16\\"

STEP 3.<\/strong> Download and install the new OneDrive client<\/a> and the registry key<\/a> to enable library sync. More information (and MAC user downlad) at this MS Article<\/a>

Select folders and sync
