If I need to sync SharePoint libraries from either on-prem or Office 365, I will still need the older OneDrive for Business sync client, with all of the same limitations.

We do however have a single sync client! Well, not so fast. To me, white would help with understanding. I don’t know why the consumer client icon is blue, but it is what it is. If you connect multiple Office 365 accounts, you’ll get multiple blue cloud icons, and multiple explorer entries. You’ll also get (at least) two entries in your Windows File explorer, one for Personal, and one for your corporate OneDrive. I’m pretty sure that this brings us to TwoDrive. White is your consumer OneDrive, and blue your OneDrive for Business. Once you add your business account, you’ll see two sync “clouds” in your system tray, one blue, and one white. Once added, your Office 365 OneDrive will be synchronized using the same (more robust) engine as the consumer client, you’ll be able to do selective sync of folders, etc. Once it has been added, when you open the OneDrive settings, you will now see an option to add a business account. Presumably, at some point that registry key will be switched on for everyone by an update. If you sign up for the OneDrive for Business preview, you’ll get the new sync client and the instructions, but for convenience, the key is: It’s not obvious that it supports OneDrive for Business because as of this writing, it requires a registry key entry. In fact, it IS the new OneDrive consumer client as well but it supports OneDrive for Business too. You’d be excused for not noticing, because it looks pretty much the same as the old OneDrive consumer client.
