With the influx of cloud-based storage services like MEGA, Google Drive, iCloud and pCloud over the years, it can be quite daunting to decide on which of them to use. To be frank, it can be pretty frustrating, because all of them claim to be the best at what they do. Well, it's time to find out.

The safety of your files takes priority over anything else, so you need a storage service that's secure as well affordable, which is why the focus of today will be on Mac OneDrive. Take a backseat for this one, Google Drive.

There are two basic ways that you, as an admin, can deploy the OneDrive sync app to Mac users in your organization: Have users install and set up the OneDrive sync app themselves by following the instructions in Sync files with OneDrive. Download the installer package file to your local network.

Before you close this webpage, you'll know all there is to know about Microsoft's proprietary storage service. It now works effortlessly on your Mac, so this should be a very pleasant read for you.

Part 1: What Is OneDrive

OneDrive is a storage service developed by Microsoft for storing or hosting files in the cloud (online). This means as long as you have a computer with an internet connection, be it Windows or Mac, you can easily access your files from wherever you are. Terribly convenient, isn't it?

How does it work, you ask? The process is simple: You only need a Microsoft account, an internet connection and a little bit of patience; or rather, a lot of it, if your files are on the larger side.

Here's what happens: The Microsoft account will enable you to access One Drive; then an internet connection will serve as a bridge to those files; then patience as the process is carried out because the upload of files, regardless of internet speed and strength, takes longer than downloading them.

Part 2: How to Use OneDrive on Mac

It's always such a pleasant surprise when applications developed by Microsoft end up with Apple. The rivalry between the two companies makes it seem unlikely they would shake hands and develop apps that complement both their individual operating systems. But OneDrive is proof that the needs of both their customers outweighs anything else.

With that out of the way, is using Mac OneDrive easy and convenient? Yes. Using it is really little different from using any folder on your Mac. The only real difference is the data you store in your local OneDrive folder is also stored on OneDrive servers.

The default folders in OneDrive are Pictures, Documents, and Public, but you can add and name as many as you want. Copying files into OneDrive couldn't have been easier too: Just copy or drag and dump everything into the folder and it will seamlessly be uploaded to the cloud.

Accessing the floating files in the cloud is even easier because you can do so from any computer or device via the OneDrive web interface; some devices even have versions of the OneDrive app, negating the need to access the web interface.

Solution 1: How to Download and Install OneDrive on Mac

1. If you don't have a Microsoft Live ID, the first step is to create it. Follow this link to do that: https://signup.live.com/

2. Once you're done with that, go to this website https://onedrive.live.com/

3. Logged in to the website above with your newly-created Microsoft Live ID by clicking on 'Sign In'. It's located at the top-right part of the window.

4. Despite the type of web browser you are using, the next window to open up you will show you the default configuration for the OneDrive folder. At the bottom-left of the sidebar, you will see 'Get the OneDrive apps'. Click on it.

5. It will open up a new window. Click on 'Download.'

6. Once it's done, open up your Mac's downloads folder.

7. You will see 'OneDrive.pkg' in the folder. Double-click it.

8. A set of instructions will guide you towards the OneDrive installation. Follow them appropriately.

That's one way to download and install OneDrive, but you can also download it via your Mac App Store.

1. Open up your Mac App Store.

2. Type 'OneDrive' in the search field at the upper right section of the window.

3. Once you find it, click on 'Install' below the OneDrive icon.

4. Once that's done, you only need to go to your Mac's 'Applications' folder and click on the OneDrive icon (two blue clouds) to open it up. There are other ways you can launch the app but this method is quite convenient.

Solution 2: How to Set Up and Reset OneDrive on Mac

Setting OneDrive up can be done two ways, and they are dependent on whether you have an account signed in to OneDrive or not.

Set Up OneDrive

First Method (No Accounts Signed into OneDrive)

1. Press these keys, 'cmd' + 'Space', to start a Spotlight query.

2. Type 'OneDrive' in it and the 'OneDrive Setup' will begin

3. Type in your school or work account and choose 'Sign In.'

Second Method (Personal Account Already Signed into OneDrive)

1. On your Mac's Menu bar, you should be able to see the 'OneDrive' icon. Click on it.

2. Click the 3 dots you see to launch the menu.

3. Choose 'Preferences.'

4. Click on 'Account.'

5. Choose 'Add Account.' That will start up OneDrive.

6. Type in your school or work account.

7. Click on 'Sign In.'

Reset OneDrive

There could be instances where OneDrive on your Mac might fail sync properly with your cloud storage. To break this down, it means all the files you've saved in your OneDrive folder on your Mac won't sync with the real OneDrive in the cloud; or perhaps your other devices. Fortunately for you, this is neither a rare nor difficult problem to deal with. Fixing it just requires you to reset your OneDrive app. Then again, for someone who has never done something that, could prove to be quite the challenge. A little help should do you some good, don't you think?

There are several ways you can reset OneDrive on Mac but three methods take priority over all others: Kill OneDrive processes, access and delete the OneDrive keys, and utilize the covert reset OneDrive script.

Kill OneDrive Processes

1. Open up your 'Utilities' folder.

2. Launch 'Activity Monitor.'

3. Sort the column alphabetically by clicking on 'Process Name.'

4. Scroll down with your cursor and you'll eventually see 'OneDrive' among the list of active processes. There will most likely be two OneDrive items for you to kill: 'OneDrive Finder Integration' and 'OneDrive.'

If you see more than one item with the name 'OneDrive', you will need to kill the others too. This is mostly the case if your Mac is running both the Personal and Business version of OneDrive.

5. Highlight the items mentioned above to kill them (so much killing going on here).

6. Click on the 'X' icon at the top of the window.

7. You will see a prompt asking you to 'Quit' or 'Force Quit' the highlighted items. Click on 'Quit', but if it fails to close the items, try 'Force Quit.'

Access and Delete the OneDrive keys

1. Open up 'Utilities.'

2. Launch the 'Keychain Access' utility.

3. Type 'OneDrive' in its search panel.

4. In the search results, you will see several items, but only highlight or select those related to OneDrive.

5. Press the 'Delete' key.

6. Close 'Keychain Access.'

Utilize the Covert Reset OneDrive Script

1. Go to 'OneDrive' in your Applications folder.

2. Control-click on it.

3. In the menu you see, click 'Show Package Contents.'

4. Several folders will open up. Click on the 'Contents' folder.

5. Click on 'Resources.'

6. Look for 'ResetOneDriveApp.command' and double-click it to run the script. Mind you, it's not an application. If you're prompted to authenticate as an administrator, do so.

7. Once you run the script, 'Terminal' should open up automatically. It will run through some options and close once it's done.

Once you take these 3 steps and launch OneDrive, it will run as if it's a fresh install. You'll have to type your login details and set OneDrive up again, but you've already been taught how to do that, haven't you?

Solution 3: How to Add a Folder to OneDrive on Mac

1. Navigate to your Mac's taskbar notification area and choose 'OneDrive' from it.

2. Click 'More.'

3. Click 'Preferences.'

4. Choose 'Accounts.'

5. Select 'Choose Folders.'

6. A 'Sync files from your OneDrive' dialogue box will open up. Untick all the folders you don't want to be added to your Mac. The folders you don't untick have automatically been added to OneDrive.

7. Click on 'OK.'

Solution 4: How to Change OneDrive Location on Mac

1. Start 'OneDrive' from your Applications folder.

2. On the OneDrive window, click on 'Choose OneDrive Folder Location.'

3. You can now choose a particular folder on your Mac to be the default directory for storing and syncing folders and files to OneDrive.

To do that, just click on the chosen folder. Doing that will change the default directory set by OneDrive to the one you chose.

4. Click on 'Choose this location.' The app will create a new folder in the default folder you selected and name it 'OneDrive.'

5. A 'This is your OneDrive Folder' page will open up. Click on 'Change Location.'

6. File Explorer will open up with a list of folders on your Mac. Choose the one you want and it will be the new location for your OneDrive, effectively changing your OneDrive main folder.

Solution 5: How to Sync Folder on Mac OneDrive

1. Launch 'OneDrive.'

2. On the welcome window of the app, you will see 'Choose OneDrive Folder Location' to the bottom right. Click on it.

3. You can now select any folder on your Mac and designate it as the primary folder for storing and syncing other files and folders to OneDrive. Once you decide on a folder in the file explorer window, simply click on it.

4. Click 'Choose this location.' A new folder titled 'OneDrive' will then be created in the main folder you chose.

5. A window called 'This is your OneDrive Folder' will open up. Click 'Next.'

6. This will show you a list of subfolders that can also be synced between OneDrive and your Mac.

7. Tick any, all or none of them.

8. Click 'Next' again to confirm.

Solution 6: How to Download and Share Files from OneDrive

Download Files

1. Go to this website: https://onedrive.live.com

2. Sign in to your account. All your folders will be on the first page you see.

Share Files

1. Open up your browser and go this site: https://onedrive.live.com

2. Sign in to your OneDrive. Your folders should be visible on the first page you see.

3. Tick the checkbox of any file or folder you want to share and click on 'Share' at the top-left section of the screen.

4. A 'Send Link' box will open where you will be asked for the name or email address of the person to receive the file or files. Do that and proceed to the next step.

5. Click on 'Anyone with the link can edit' and a 'Share' box will appear. This is where you set an expiration date and a password if you so wish.

6. Click 'Apply.'

7. The 'Send Link' box will appear again. Click 'Send' and the files will be shared.

Solution 7: How to Remove OneDrive on Mac

1. You have to close the OneDrive app first. Go to your Mac's toolbar.

2. Click the 'OneDrive' icon.

3. Click 'Settings.'

4. Chose 'Quit OneDrive.'

5. Next, you have to delete the executable file of the OneDrive. Go to your 'Applications' folder.

Solution 8: How to Update OneDrive on Mac

1. Launch 'Mac App Store.'

2. Click on 'Update' in the toolbar. If there's an update for your OneDrive, you'll see it here.

3. Alternatively, you can launch the OneDrive app itself and see if there is an 'Update' button you can click.

Part 3: OneDrive Won't Sync? Fix OneDrive Sync Issues

You don't have to worry much about your OneDrive breaking down in mid-use, but there's a possibility that could still happen for any number of reasons. There are steps you can take to get it back in top shape again, though, and they've been listed out for you below. Happy reading.

Solution 1 (Rectify 'Upload Blocked' Error)

1. This error message entails problems when you try to sync Office files. Click on the 'OneDrive' cloud icon you see on your Mac's menu bar.

2. Click on the three dots to open it up.

3. Choose 'Preferences.'

4. Choose the 'Office' tab.

5. Untick 'Use Office 2016 to sync Office files that I open.' There, that should do it. The Office Upload cache system will no longer give your OneDrive sync any more trouble; it was the initial cause of the error, anyway.

Solution 2 (Fix Internet Connection)

OneDrive needs an internet connection to sync files and work properly, obviously, so any drop in internet connection could lead to an error of sorts.

Solution 3 (Reduce File Size)

Try to compress or reduce your OneDrive files to be less than 15GB. Anything larger than that could culminate in errors when syncing files and folders

Solution 4 (Ascertain the OneDrive Process is Still Running)

Open up 'Activity Monitor' and select the 'CPU' tab. Check the 'Process Column' to see if OneDrive is there. For all you know, it might not even be running, hence leading to errors.

Solution 5 (Shorten the File Path)

Any file path that contains more than 255 characters is likely to give errors, so shorten the name of your files, folders, and sub-folders in OneDrive

Part 4: How to Recover Downloaded OneDrive Files

Once you put your files in OneDrive, their safety is guaranteed because they are stored in the cloud; inaccessible to anyone else but you. And you have copies of the files on your Mac too, so even if you lose either of them, it's safe to assume you still have the files either on your Mac or OneDrive servers, isn't it?

Wait, you don't have copies of the files? And you deleted both the ones on your Mac and in your OneDrive? That's not a very smart thing to do, is it?

No worries. You can save yourself the trouble of installing and uninstalling different recovery apps because all you need is one: Recoverit Mac Data Recovery.

Recoverit won't break a sweat in recovering your deleted OneDrive files. The cavalry is here, so chill. Look below and do as instructed. Everything should turn out fine in the end.

Step 1: Choose a Location

• Open Recoverit from your Applications folder.
• Click on one hard disk from 'Devices'. It should be the disk with the deleted OneDrive files.
• Click 'Start.'

Step 2: Scan the Location

• Make use of filters 'File Type' and 'File Path' to speed up the scan process so it takes even fewer minutes to conclude. Stop or pause the scan if necessary; it will neither affect nor tamper with the state of your files once they've been recovered.
• Recoverit will show you the deleted OneDrive files in a preview window of sorts once the scan is complete.

Step 3: Preview & Recover Downloaded Onedrive Files

• Do you see the little square checkboxes to the left of the Recoverit window? Those are your OneDrive files. Check the ones you want; tick all of them, if that's what you prefer,
• Click the 'Recover' button and wait for some minutes for the software to work its magic and recover your files back to your drive and where they should be. Save all the recovered files on the secondary drive in your Mac. And you're all done.

Wondershare has done it again. The brains behind it have developed a software that's capable of effectively recovering data which was lost in different ways, with special emphasis on accidental data loss and formatting.

It's arguable if anyone can truly explore the full potential of Recoverit because it has so much going for it. Give it a go and see what all the hype is about. You'll be glad you did.

Closing Words

Using OneDrive is easy if you follow the appropriate steps. Is there any marked difference in how efficient OneDrive is between the Windows and Mac versions? No, none whatsoever at all. OneDrive for Mac comes with all the benefits of its Windows counterpart.

You have free 5GB of storage space, which can be upgraded if the need arises. The tool is also compatible with your Mac's native cloud storage service, iCloud. Likewise, you can use it with other storage platforms, so it's as versatile as it is simple to use.

And if in the event you delete your OneDrive files, you can recover them by clicking on that little blue 'Recoverit' icon on your Mac's desktop. The software gets everything back without missing a beat, so what are you waiting for?

There are two basic ways that you, as an administrator, can deploy the OneDrive sync app to Mac users in your organization:

• Have users install and set up the OneDrive sync app themselves by following the instructions in Sync files with OneDrive on Mac OS X. To install the OneDrive sync app for Mac, a user has to be an administrator on the Mac or know an administrator account name and password.

• Download the installer package file to your local network, and then use your software distribution tools to deploy the app to your users. By using a software distribution tool, you have more control over the deployment, including which users get the sync app and when. The OneDrive sync app for Mac uses the Apple Installer technology for installation. This means you can continue to use the software distribution tools that you normally use to deploy software to Mac users. You can use Microsoft Intune. Other common tools are Jamf Pro, Munki, and AutoPkg. You can also use Apple Remote Desktop and AppleScript.

Manage OneDrive settings on macOS using property list (Plist) files

After the OneDrive sync app for Mac is installed, users can configure settings for the app. These settings are called preferences. As an administrator, you might want to provide users in your organization with a standard set of preferences. Preferences for the OneDrive sync app for Mac are stored in preference files. These files are often referred to as .plist files.

Configure sync app settings

Configure the settings on macOS as follows:

1. Quit the OneDrive app.

2. Define the settings you want to change by creating a Plist file with the values, or use a script to set the default values.

3. Deploy the settings onto the local computer.

4. Refresh the preferences cache.

   On the next start of OneDrive, the new settings will be picked up.

Overview of settings

Use the following keys to preconfigure or change settings for your users. The keys are the same whether you run the standalone or Mac App Store edition of the sync app, but the Plist file name and domain name will be different. When you apply the settings, ensure that you target the appropriate domain depending on the edition of the sync app.

List of settings

AllowTenantList

This setting prevents the users from uploading files to other organizations by specifying a list of allowed tenant IDs. If you enable this setting, the user gets an error if they attempt to add an account from an organization that is not in the allowed tenants list. If the user has already added the account, the files stop syncing. This setting takes priority over Block syncing OneDrive accounts for specific organizations setting. Do NOT enable both settings at the same time.

The parameter for the AllowTenantList key is TenantID and its value is a string which determines the tenants for whom the Allow Tenant setting is applicable. For the setting to be complete, this parameter also requires a boolean value to be set to it. If the boolean value is set to True, the tenant is allowed to sync.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>AllowTenantList</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>TenantId1</key>
<Bool>True</Bool>
<key>TenantId2</key>
<Bool>True</Bool>
</dict>
</array>

AutomaticUploadBandwidthPercentage

This setting enables the sync app to automatically set the amount of bandwidth that can be used for uploading files, based on available bandwidth.

To enable this setting, you must define a number between 1 and 99 which determines the percentage of bandwidth the sync app can use out of the total available bandwidth.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>AutomaticUploadBandwidthPercentage</key>
<int>(Bandwidth)</int>

BlockExternalSync

This setting prevents the sync app from syncing libraries and folders shared from other organizations.

If you set the setting's value to True, the users are prevented from syncing OneDrive and SharePoint libraries and folders with organizations other than the user's own organization. Set this value to False or do not enable the setting to allow the OneDrive and SharePoint files to be synced with other organizations also.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>BlockExternalSync</key>
<(Bool)/>

BlockTenantList

This setting prevents the users from uploading files to organizations that are included in the blocked tenant IDs list that is specified.

If you enable this setting, the users get an error if they attempt to add an account from an organization that is blocked. If a user has already added an account for a blocked organization, the files stop syncing. This setting does NOT work if you have Allow syncing OneDrive accounts for only specific organizations setting enabled. Do NOT enable both settings at the same time.

You must enable this setting by defining IDs for the TenantID parameter which determines the tenants to whom the block tenant setting is applicable. You must also set the boolean value to True for the ID of every tenant you want to prevent from syncing with the OneDrive and SharePoint files and folders.

Note: In the list, inclusion of the tenant ID alone does not suffice. It is mandatory to set the boolean value to True for the ID of each tenant who is to be blocked.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>BlockTenantList</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>TenantId1</key>
<Bool>True</Bool>
<key>TenantId2</key>
<Bool>True</Bool>
</dict>
</array>

DefaultFolderLocation

This setting specifies the default location of the OneDrive folder for each organization.

The parameters are TenantID and DefaultFolderPath.The TenantID value is a string that determines the tenants to whom the default folder location setting is applicable.The DefaultFolderPath value is a string that specifies the default location of the folder.

The following are the conditions governing the default folder location:-Mac app store: The path must already exist when the user is setting up the sync app.-Standalone: The path will be created (if it doesn't already exist) after the user sets up the sync app. Only with the Standalone sync app you can prevent users from changing the location.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>DefaultFolder</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Path</key>
<string>(DefaultFolderPath)</string>
<key>TenantId</key>
<string>(TenantID)</string>
</dict>
</array>

DisableHydrationToast

This setting prevents toasts from appearing when applications cause file contents to be downloaded.

If you set the setting's value to True, toasts do not appear when applications trigger the download of file contents.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>DisableHydrationToast</key>
<(Bool)/>

DisablePersonalSync

This setting blocks users from signing in and syncing files in personal OneDrive accounts. If this setting has been configured after a user has set up sync with a personal account, the user gets signed out.

If you set the setting's value to True, the users are prevented from adding or syncing personal accounts.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>DisablePersonalSync</key>
<(Bool)/>

DisableTutorial

This setting prevents the tutorial from being shown to the users after they set up OneDrive.

If you set this setting's value to True, the tutorial is blocked from being shown to the users after they set up the OneDrive.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>DisableTutorial</key>
<(Bool)/>

DownloadBandwidthLimited

This setting sets the maximum download throughput rate in kilobytes (KB)/sec for computers running the OneDrive sync app.

You must set this setting's value to an integer between 50 KB/sec and the maximum rate is 100,000 KB/sec which determines the download throughput in KB/sec which the sync app can use.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>DownloadBandwidthLimited</key>
<int>(Download Throughput Rate in KB/sec)</int>

FilesOnDemandEnabled

This setting specifies whether Files On-Demand is enabled.

If you don't set this setting, Files On-Demand will be enabled automatically as we roll out the feature, and users can turn the setting on or off.

If you set this setting to True, FilesOnDemand is enabled and the users who set up the sync app can view the online-only files, by default.

If you set this setting to False, FilesOnDemand is disabled and the users won't be able to turn it on.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>FilesOnDemandEnabled</key>
<(Bool)/>

HideDockIcon

This setting specifies whether a dock icon for OneDrive is shown.

If you set this setting's value to True, the OneDrive dock icon is hidden even if the app is running.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>HideDockIcon</key>
<(Bool)/>

HydrationDisallowedApps

This setting prevents apps from automatically downloading online-only files. You can use this setting to lock down apps that don't work correctly with your deployment of Files On-Demand.

To enable this setting, you must define a string in JSON format as described below:
[{'ApplicationId':'appId','MaxBundleVersion':'1.1','MaxBuildVersion':'1.0'}]
'appID' can be either the BSD process name or the bundle display name. 'MaxBuildVersion' denotes the maximum build version of the app that will be blocked. 'MaxBundleVersion' denotes the maximum bundle version of the app that will be blocked.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>HydrationDisallowedApps </key>
<string> [{'ApplicationId':'appId','MaxBundleVersion':'1.1','MaxBuildVersion':'1.0'}, {'ApplicationId':'appId2','MaxBundleVersion':'3.2','MaxBuildVersion':'2.0'}]</string>
<(Bool)/>

OpenAtLogin

This setting specifies whether OneDrive starts automatically when the user logs in.

If you set this setting's value to True, OneDrive starts automatically when the user logs in on Mac.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>OpenAtLogin</key>
<(Bool)/>

SharePointOnPremFrontDoorUrl

Onedrive App Not Syncing On Mac

This setting specifies the SharePoint Server 2019 on-premises URL that the OneDrive sync app must try to authenticate and sync against.

To enable this setting, you must define a string containing the URL of the on-premises SharePoint Server.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>SharePointOnPremFrontDoorUrl</key>
<string>https://Contoso.SharePoint.com</string>

SharePointOnPremPrioritizationPolicy

This setting determines whether or not the client should set up sync for SharePoint Server or SharePoint in Microsoft 365 first during the first-run scenario when the email is the same for both SharePoint Server on-premises and SharePoint in Microsoft 365 in a hybrid scenario.

If you set this setting's value to 1, it is an indication that OneDrive should set up SharePoint Server on-premises first, followed by SharePoint in Microsoft 365.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>SharePointOnPremPrioritizationPolicy</key>
<int>(0 or 1)</int>

SharePointOnPremTenantName

This setting enables you to specify the name of the folder created for syncing the SharePoint Server 2019 files specified in the Front Door URL.

Sync Onedrive App In Mac

If this setting is enabled, you can specify a TenantName which is the name the folder will use in the following convention:
OneDrive – TenantName (specified by you)
TenantName (specified by you)

If you do not specify any TenantName, the folder will use the first segment of the FrontDoorURL as the its name. For example, https://Contoso.SharePoint.com will use Contoso as the Tenant Name in the following convention:
OneDrive – Contoso
Contoso

Onedrive Sync App Per Machine

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>SharePointOnPremTenantName</key>
<string>Contoso</string>

UploadBandwidthLimited

This setting defines the maximum upload throughput rate in KB/sec for computers running the OneDrive sync app.

To enable this setting, set a value between 50 and 100,000 which is the upload throughput rate the sync app can use.

The example for this setting in the .plist file is:
<key>UploadBandwidthLimited</key>
<int>(Upload Throughput Rate in KB/sec)</int>

Microsoft Onedrive Sync App Mac

You can also configure the OneDrive Standalone sync app to receive delayed updates.
