Hi,

I would like to install OneDrive for business for all the Office 365 users. 

I couldn't find the link to download OneDrive for business with Office 2016, however I can download & install OneDrive personal but can't login to OneDrive Personal using OneDrive for business user account. 

Could you please assist the downloadable link for OneDrive for Business with Office 2016 and is there anyway to deploy OneDrive for business?

I have tried to sync using Office 365 portal but couldn't find the installer.

Also, I have few Windows 8.1 machines, is there anyway to install OneDrive for Business on this. I found an article says OneDrive for business doesn't sync with Win 8.1.

support.microsoft.com/.../2903984

Also, its not compatible with my current version of Office 2016.

Please assist?

    Hi Mitesh,

    For most Office 365 subscriptions you cannot install Office 2016 with Office 2013. When Office 2016 is installed Office 2013 will be removed. This also applies to standalone applications like Visio, Project, Skype for Business, or OneDrive for Business. For detailed information, please refer to "Question: Can I use Office 2013 side by side with Office 2016?" in

    https://community.office365.com/en-us/w/officeapps/office-2016-problems-and-solutions-and-frequently-asked-questions

    So, I'd like to confirm what  subscription and version of the Office client are installed on your computer.

    If it is the Click-to-Run version Office 2013, you can use the following link to install the standalone OneDrive for Business: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2903984

    Thanks,

    Eben

    It is the same version. I can confirm that users currently have Office 2016 (32 bit) version and when I try to install OneDrive using ODT configuration file as below, it uninstall Office 2016 as well as Skype, then I need to reinstall both of them and then everything works fine.

    <Configuration>

     <Add SourcePath="officecdn.microsoft.com/.../" OfficeClientEdition="32" >

       <Product ID="O365BusinessRetail">

         <Language ID="en-us" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="Excel" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />

         <ExcludeApp ID="Word" />

       </Product>

     </Add>

     <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />

    </Configuration>

    Not sure why its doing it.

    httpHi MiteshSudan,

    OneDrive for Business has two versions: OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client and OneDrive for Business Legacy. Let’s discuss them one by one.

    OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client:

    It’s not feasible to deploy it on Windows 8.1. I’d like to invite you to submit your ideas at our OneDrive UserVoice. Many great features came directly  from your ideas. Thanks for your cooperation.

    To deploy it on other versions of Windows system, you can refer to this article: Deploying the OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client in an enterprise environment

    (Note: This  OneDrive version can’t sync team site libraries.)

    OneDrive for Business Legacy:

    This  OneDrive for Business version is compatible with Windows 8.1 and can be used to sync team site libraries. It’s included in Office 365 Click-to-Run installation package. Users can download it from Office 365 portal. Or you can deploy it using Office Deployment Tool by referring to these articles:

    Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run

    Reference for Click-to-Run configuration.xml file

    Please configure the configuration.xml file as below:

    <Configuration>

      <Add SourcePath="http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60/" OfficeClientEdition="32" >

        <Product ID="O365BusinessRetail">

          <Language ID="en-us" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="Excel" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />

          <ExcludeApp ID="Word" />

        </Product>

      </Add>

      <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />

    </Configuration>

    (Note: The product ID will be different  depending on your Office 365 subscription. For detailed information: Product IDs that are supported by the Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run)

    Regarding  “its not compatible with my current version of Office 2016”, the article you provided is  about OneDrive for Business 2013 standalone and it’s not feasible to install it with Office 2016. You can install the right version of OneDrive for Business referring to the information I provide above.

    Regards,

    Fraser
