Use the sync app on virtual desktops

  • Article

For all supported operating systems, the OneDrive sync app supports:

  • Virtual desktops that persist between sessions.
  • Non-persistent virtual desktops that use Azure Virtual Desktop.
  • Non-persistent virtual desktops that have FSLogix Apps or FSLogix Office Container, and a Microsoft 365 subscription for all of the following operating systems:
    • Windows 10, 32-bit or 64-bit (supports VHDX files)
    • Windows 7, 32-bit or 64-bit (supports VHD files)
    • Windows Server 2019 (supports VHDX)
    • Windows Server 2016 (supports VHDX)
    • Windows Server 2012 R2 (supports VHDX)
    • Windows Server 2008 R2 (supports VHD)

Note

It is not supported to roam the OneDrive registry hive as part of a non-persistent VDI environment. Do not roam HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\OneDrive\ in your non-persistent VDI user profiles.

Note

The minimum supported versions are: OneDrive 19.174.0902.0013 and FSLogix Apps 2.9.7653.47581.

Using the OneDrive sync app with non-persistent environments requires that you install the sync app per machine.

For Windows Server, the SMB network file sharing protocol is also required.

The OneDrive sync app is supported in a remote app scenario hosted as a Citrix Virtual App.

The OneDrive sync app with FSLogix does not support running multiple instances of the same container simultaneously.
