Windows 10 version 1709 (also called the Fall Creators Update) introduced the cloud files API. Before Windows 10, version 1709, sync engine support in Windows was limited to scenario-agnostic ad-hoc surfaces, such as File Explorer’s navigation pane, the Windows system tray, and (for more technical applications) file system filter drivers. Sync engines on Windows often present those files to the user through the Windows file system and File Explorer. A sync engine is a service that syncs files, typically between a remote host and a local client.
