We need the ability to determine the current sync status of OneDrive on our fleet of macOS clients. Using a client management platform (eg. JAMF, AirWatch etc) we would like to determine the current sync status using a script or reading a plist. We can then notify our in-house support team of OneDrive sync issues, so we can proactively assist users.

Could the current sync status be written to a local preferences file or accessible via a command line query?

Command Example:
/Applications/OneDrive.App/Contents/MacOS/OneDrive /synstatus

returns on the following:
Ok
Syncing
Paused
Error

Preference file Example:
defaults read com.microsoft.OneDrive.plist CurrentSyncStatus
returns on the following:
Ok
Syncing
Paused
Error

Due to Apple's new privacy and security measures in the Mac OS file system in their upcoming version 10.15 Catalina. OneDrive can no longer function properly due to no longer having full access the the drive despite enabling full disk access in System Preferences. OneDrive will not be able to locate the main folder due to the 10.15 now having two separate volumes by default. One is for the MacOS system files and the other is your data drive. I'm not sure what other problems are causing OneDrive to not work but I hope it is fixed before 10.15 is released publicly this fall.

Many macOS applications I use as part of my workflows while operating on documents I keep in OneDrive synced folders use the built in macOS Auto Save feature (which includes the ability to revert to previous versions of a file) and OneDrive has some compatibility issues with this feature. I cannot keep "Use Office applications to sync Office files that I open" turned on because otherwise the afore mentioned AutoSAve-ing applications often interrupt my work with modal windows telling that "the document could not be saved. The file has been changed by another application."

Would be really nice if the concurrent editing offered by Office and macOS AutoSave could be kept active at the same time.

I have always used onedrive for business work.
In the company is a win10 desktop computer, and did not pay attention to "power consumption" and "computer performance operation".
When I started to run my MacBook, I realized that when I was working outside the network, my MacBook would always run at a high speed, generating heat, and the battery could be consumed by 1% in 1 minute.
When I found the problem all the time, it was only onedrive.
Discuss with Microsoft, because this is a program that Microsoft writes in the Apple store
But Microsoft said it could be Apple's OS issue.
Discuss with Apple, but Apple is a bug that Microsoft wants to fix in Apple OS.
Therefore, there is still no way to solve it. I heard that many people in foreign countries have this disaster situation, but there is no solution.

At the moment I tested it, Onedrive will have a disadvantage is that when you turn on the network, you can scan 1 million files to 1 million files. The purpose of scanning is to determine whether the data is synchronized with onedrive. It turns out that you can't refuse it, it can only scan obediently.
It is very power-consuming during the scanning process. So this is a weird phenomenon.

2020.3.11, so far my solution is ... no icloud (it is not a cloud system for real business work), no onedrive. I chose Google one.
I used it for 48 hours (on a full charge), and my MacBook finally became a long-lasting work in use.
I hope the Onedrive team can understand how Google one works!
I ’m afraid I ’ll use it again. My Mac wears out all due to Onedrive ...

I've been hit with the dreaded "Upload Blocked" error in Word and PowerPoint when working with a business account OneDrive. Note, I haven't experienced the problem until the most recent update to the Office apps on my Mac. I've followed all steps to reset OneDrive, re-install OneDrive, logout of Office 365 in Word and PowerPoint, and always end up in the same spot. Word, PowerPoint, (and I imagine the rest of the suite) open the files from OneDrive but have the "Upload Blocked" error message as seen in the attached screenshot.

I've also reached out to Microsoft OneDrive support who walked me through steps (like removing the Office credentials stored in the Keychain) - no help. Their ultimate advice was a workaround to disable allowing the Office apps to manage syncing files. While this helps keep OneDrive up to date, it disables collaboration features that make the feature useful. There is no option to see a detailed description of what is happening, so it leaves end users to search forums for solutions. There's got to be a better way.

I do not experience the problem using a Windows-installed version of Office 365 and OneDrive.

I sync my iTunes library with OneDrive, so I always have my music backed up. Unfortunately, that means whenever I have iTunes open, OneDrive cannot upload the files. I always have to close iTunes or pause OneDrive. Usually I'm reminded to do so by OneDrive eating up 30% of my CPU and the fan of my laptop (a Microsoft Surface Book) screaming loudly.

Can't this be automated? If a file can't upload, OneDrive could timeout instead of persistently consuming so much CPU. I imagine most people don't have the presence of mind to open their Task Manager and sort by CPU usage to diagnose the problem.

As a dedicated Microsoft user, this solution seems like such an easy UX improvement to a core piece of the Microsoft ecosystem. If this feedback is better served somewhere else, please advise. Thanks!
