Microsoft OneDrive: Offline mode process rename [MC1131075]

Message ID: MC1131075

Introduction

To improve clarity and alignment with OneDrive branding, we are renaming the background process that powers offline mode in both OneDrive and Lists. This update also includes a refreshed icon to reflect the change.

When this will happen

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in late August 2025 and is expected to complete by late August 2025.

How this affects your organization

The following changes will be introduced in OneDrive sync version 25.145.0727.0001:

• Process name changes:
  • Windows: From Microsoft.SharePoint.exe to OneDrive.Sync.Service.exe
  • Mac: From Microsoft SharePoint to OneDrive Sync Service.app
• Task name changes:
  • Windows: from Microsoft SharePoint to Microsoft OneDrive Sync Service
  • Mac: from Microsoft SharePoint to OneDrive Sync Service
• Icon update:
  • From the SharePoint icon to the OneDrive icon

These changes may impact any custom tooling, scripts, or monitoring systems that reference the previous process or task names, or the icon.

What you can do to prepare

• Review and update any custom tools, scripts, or monitoring systems that reference the old process name or icon.
• Ensure IT support teams are informed to reduce potential confusion or help desk calls.

Compliance considerations

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
