According to the Schedule of Microsoft this should be changed till end of the year.

before 09/06/16 (Office 2013) after 09/06/16 (Office 2013)
settings of Groove.exe 15.0.4849.1000 (Office 2013) settings of Groove.exe 15.0.4859.1000 (Office 2013)

Be aware that the update in Download Center applies to Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2013. It doesn’t apply to the Office 2013 Click-to-Run editions such as Microsoft Office 365 Home

To determine whether your Office installation is Click-to-Run or MSI-based, follow these steps:

    1. Open an Office 2013 application, such as Microsoft Word 2013.
    2. On the File menu, select Account.
    3. For Office 2013 Click-to-Run installations, an Update Options item is displayed. For MSI-based installations, the Update Options item isn’t displayed.

    MSI oder C2R Installation

    You will found the file groove.exe here:  X:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
    So the version for Office 2013 of the file should be 15.0.4859.1000 or higher.
    And the version for Office 2016 of the file should be 16.0.4432.1000 or higher.

    Remarks

This update is necessary to ensure smooth transition from the old Sync Client "Groove.exe" for Next Generation Sync Client. So it should be necessarily installed.
