OneDrive sync 64-bit for Windows now in public preview

Just to sanity check, the properties of the installer should say this in the description. The name does not say x64 but the description does. Just to make sure you have the correct one. They were next to each other in the MS article.

I have same issue, I have Office 365 so should be 64bit as that is default unless you choose to install as 32bit.

OneDrive was only 32-bit, even on 64-bit Office. My problem is that I used the 64-bit installer but still only have the 32-bit version

Your ABOUT shows 32-bit? Actually doesn't designate either, just blank????

Installer is 64bit but install is just normal no 32bit or 64bit in build so it is 32bit, confirmed via Task Manager.

When I said I had Office 365 installed, I do, but on my wife's lap top, not on this desktop. I'm going to try this on the laptop that has Office 365 and see what I get.

Back in just a few..........

Also some seem to have just exited OneDrive to install this new build, I got pop up saying I must remove the current version first.

OK, i'm on the laptop with Office 365 installed and running. I DL'd the 64 bit installer, ran it. It killed OneDrive by itself and installed the 64 bit OneDrive.

Do we all have the same numerical version? regardless of the bits.
