Microsoft remains busy updating their various apps and services across Windows, iOS, OS X, and Android, a daunting task considering just how many different apps and services that the company provides. OneDrive is just one among many, and it runs on every platform that Microsoft supports and in both consumer and enterprise versions. Today, Microsoft pushed out a version of OneDrive for OS X that not only fixes some issues but also expands the client’s support for just those different versions. For the first time, Mac users will be able to connect to their OneDrive for Business accounts and sync their work files. Here’s the complete changelog for today’s update to version 17.3.6378.0329: –.Boom. It’s done. You can now sync your OneDrive for Business files.
If you are new to OneDrive, just sign in with your email address, or if you are already syncing a personal account, go into preferences and select “Add an Account.” – You now get a notification when someone shares a file with you, and when they edit a shared file. – We’ve heard you, the limitations to file paths are frustrating. We’ve increased the limit so that it will be less of an issue for your personal OneDrive. – We’ve hovered over our sync overlay: it doesn’t say IconOverlaySyncedLabel anymore! – Tell us if you are having a problem!
We’ve added the option to report a problem in the drop-down. If you’re running OneDrive on OS X, then you can just open the App Store and go to Updates. If not, today to get syncing.
Microsoft allowed Mac users to access OneDrive for Business files through the OneDrive app available in the Mac App Store. This standalone client gives IT administrators a way to directly deploy.

Edmoyel, Designed by engineers It has great potential and is being upgraded all the time. It did not work at all but this was possibly because of low speed internet. However Dropbox worked perfectly at the same speeds! It hangs and has to be restarted. My greatest problem is that you have to think about it at all.
Such programs should not require your attention and the subsequent loss of productivity. They should just run.
This is the critical link between your work and storage. Everything about this product and the Microsoft website is too complex. It is writtenby people who do not need to use it for productive labour. That is why you use a Mac. If you wanted complexity I would use Windows.
However it is what it is and they are always improving it. I works most of the time and a reboot fixes the other problems. Edmoyel, Designed by engineers It has great potential and is being upgraded all the time. It did not work at all but this was possibly because of low speed internet.

BRCLE, Unreliable and temperamental If you have the choice of using the app - think carefully. This one isn’t great and there are others which appear to be bullet proof working reliably week in week out.
Box and Dropbox for example. If you have to use this because someone else chose the app unlucky. It works some of the time but often there is no clear fix.
The issue essentially is that every now and again it loses connectivity, stops updating and then can’t be relinked to the files that you have already downloaded. I have this problem on both of the Macs I have. You might ask why I still have it installed rather than just go to the OneDrive web app and the answer is that working some of the time seems to be marginally better than never working. It is close though.
