Never noticed that - but for published apps we go CDM all the way now anyway

TBH I am not sure whats the difference between "OneDrive" and "OneDrive sync app" but the following article states: "The OneDrive sync app is not supported in remote app scenarios." I understand it that this also counts for Citrix and not just MS RemoteApp!? Maybe I am wrong :) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/sync-vdi-support

The sync app is the client for machines that allows a local cache. OneDrive in general is just "files in MS cloud"

I havent checked the article Leee posted before posting. 😄 Now I see that Citrix used the very same screenshot 😄 Sorry for that. Thanks James for clarification on the difference.

Oh dear, that snuck in quietly. All those customers with published apps all over the show are going to have to move to desktops.

Or buy CDM licenses, or just use the web browser, or hack it with WebDAV - options aplenty

Yeah, that is an option for sure. Just a weird decision from MS IMO. They have a service that has published app capability and their own product will not work with it. I just don't understand the reasoning. Their products should work in their own ecosystem to allow a nice seamless experience. Integration with other office products as an example.

I don't know how much CDM costs, but I can't picture trying to include OneDrive via the sync client in published apps. It just sounds like a nightmare.

Yeah you'd need multiple cache disks if doing concurrent sessions, CDM is cheap. And does other stuff besides just OneDrive (Teams drives and Sharepoint drives and the like)

Back in the day, I tested that other OneDrive PS script that basically mapped drives using WebDAV. Worked well, for free.

But it needs to constantly run in the background

OneDriveMapper

And doesn't need to re-auth either. I think the mapper script now tells users to use CDM instead

Its not really a nightmare no, but its been a bit of a faff for a while. The concurrent access isn't so much of an issue as long as they're all published from the same pool. WebDav I've used before but it has issues, slow, not fantastic. Annoyingly its been working fine up until the update.

Let's not forget Sharefile and Ivanti can also solve this problem for you, if you have them

Nah, I'm good with forgetting about ShareFile...

Yep ShareFile works.

CDM didn't do well for us but there are options at least. Our issue was with vanity URLs that they couldn't support.

Yes, vanity URLs are an issue. Had the same at an insurance client.

Apart from the fact that Microsoft does not support OneDrive as a remote app, has anyone still used it or does it work? I guess we would still need to configure ShellBridge and a scheduled task: https://www.jeffriechers.com/wiki/launch-onedrive-with-citrix-published-applications/

It is again supported
