In December 2015, Microsoft released the first iteration of their ‘Next Generation Sync Client,’ which the company now calls OneDrive sync client. This tool significantly improved the performance and reliability of syncing large quantities of content to the cloud storage service, and today the company announced several new features for the service.

Starting today, the company is rolling out updates for the client that should address the most common feedback they received from those using the service. With this release, the following features and enhancements have been added:
The features listed above will be available to all users within one to two weeks, but the Office 2016 integration and Pause sync feature will rollout during the summer.
In addition to these features, the company announced a couple of enhancements that will be arriving later this year; these new features are listed below.
The features that Microsoft is announcing today will go a long way to making OneDrive for Business more user friendly and help it compete against services like Box and DropBox.

If you are using OneDrive for Business, let us know how it is working for you. In the past, the service had received quite a bit of negative feedback, before the new sync client rolled out, for being unreliable. With that feature now released, hopefully the platform is performing at the level the enterprise demands.
