Thank you so much!!! This is working! 

Great, that's the method there.

But it is very characteristic of Microsoft, that technically everything works, but you first have to be smart enough to figure out how to make the function usable becouse they dont want you to use it.

 

Haha, good to know ! Enjoy

Thanks!

It shouldn't be there when using Business version of OneDrive. Maybe it's built-in one?

I'm using the business version. Is it becasue I placed the folder in the same area as the now defunct Onedrive app?

Maybe, you could change the location of OneDrive folder. Check your OneDrive Business app. Should say what's wrong.

It doesn't say anything

Then... don't know what could be wrong. You could try to disable built-in OneDrive, maybe that helps. I have nothing else to recommend. Sorry

Is there any way in how to update OneDrive on Windows 8.1? The Explorer always shows the old OneDrive Icon, unlike Windows 7, who can use the latest one. I always get errors that I should use the Build-In App, if I wanna use a personal account

Use Business version and apply the registry tweak. You can find it above.
