How do I tell how Office or the OneDrive for Business sync app was installed?

If you're an Office 365 for business user and you installed Office applications through Click-to-run, your OneDrive for Business sync app stays up-to-date as long as you don't disable automatic updates. Follow these steps to determine whether your Office applications were installed through Click-to-run.

  1. In an Office app, such as Word, choose File > Account or Office Account (depending on your version of Office).
    Note: If you don’t have any Office applications other than OneDrive for Business, your OneDrive for Business installation should update automatically.
  2. In the Product Information section, review the Office Updates section, and look for one of the following:

Manually update the OneDrive for Business sync app for a Click-to-run installation

Usually, your computer updates after it restarts. If your Office apps aren't updating automatically, choose the Update Options button, then choose Update Now.

To start an update manually, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Under Programs, choose Uninstall programs.
  3. Under Uninstall or change a program, select Microsoft OneDrive for Business 2013, and then choose Change.
  4. In the How would you like to repair your Office programs dialog box, select Online Repair, and then choose Repair.
  5. In the Ready to start an Online Repair dialog box, choose Repair to start the process.

If your Office apps were installed by the traditional setup installation, you can use Windows Update, which is available from Control Panel. Learn more about Windows Update.

You can check for the latest release number of Office on the Update Office 2013 or Office 365 page. Next, you can check for the same version of the sync app in your file system. For the OneDrive for Business sync app, the file name is groove.exe.

Follow these steps to check the version of the sync app installed on your computer.

  1. Search for groove.exe on your PC.
  2. Right-click or tap and hold groove.exe, and choose Properties.
  3. In the Properties dialog box, choose the Details tab, and you’ll see the Product version listed.
  4. Compare your product version with the latest version listed on the Update Office 2013 or Office 365 page. If your product version doesn’t match, use one of the methods described earlier in this article to update it.
