Hello! I really like the online-only feature that OneDrive has for Windows, and I'm sad that the same feature isn't available for Mac. The files I have are eating up space on my hard drive, and using selective sync doesn't cut it (the large size of my OneDrive is due to images and .PSD documents which I open in bulk for image editing, and are a hassle to download from the website every time I simply want to use them.)

I'd really appreciate it if this feature were implemented, since I'm running low on space! If not, I'm probably going to have to say good-bye to OneDrive and migrate my files to Dropbox, sadly.

I installed the new version of OneDrive for Business (MacOS), with selective sync.
Whenever it got to a ".DS_Store" file, though, it would get "hung up", and would stop syncing. I contacted MS Tech Support and was directed to an article which appeared to be helpful in that it clearly addressed the issue I was experiencing, and eventually was able to get the Mac to complete the sync by deleting the .DS_Store files (which was a bit of a challenge, but I figured it out).

The issue is not just that the Mac won’t sync the “.ds_store” files, but that it gets “stuck” on them and won’t complete the rest of the sync. It seems to me that the “getting stuck” part is something that should be resolved at the software level, rather than at the user level. OneDrive should report the error, of course, but then it should be able to proceed with the rest of the sync, anyway.

When try to launch UI from screen other than the main one, UI will not be able to opened until client restart.

Repo:
1 Find a mac computer with 2 screens;
2 Install OneDrive from mac app store;
3 Launch it;
4 Click the OneDrive icon on the menubar of the screen WHICH IS NOT SET AS MAIN SCREEN;
5 No UI will be popped up. Until the client is restarted, even you try to access the UI from the main screen, it still cannot be done.

*: The main screen is the one has the menubar displayed in System Preferences - Displays.

Just like OneDrive for Windows has with the Auto Save tab 'Protect your important folders' that would allow you to automatically back up anything saved to Documents, Desktop and Pictures folder, I'd love for it to be an option for Mac. Even a step further where additional folders could be selected by the user.

As an admin that manages a number of users on mac, it's been a bit of a push to get users across and some of them are never going to do it the 'right' way and save into their OneDrive. By having this option, it can be set up for them and they can save wherever they choose whilst it also gives me some peace of mind that these users files are being backed up.

Files On-Demand 利用時の、iWork (Pages , Numbers , Keynote) アプリケーションのエラー表示について
An error message at File On-Demand for iWork apps

***************
■Description(内容):
Mac OS X にて Files On-Demand を使用して OneDrive for Business へ iWork (Pages , Numbers , Keynote) のファイルをアップロード後に編集 /保存 すると [<ファイル名> を自動保存できませんでした。このファイルは、別のアプリケーションによって変更されました。 予期しない変更が起きたため、Keynoteでは変更内容を保存出来ない可能性があります。] という警告が表示される。
iWork のバージョン管理機能と Files On-Demand 機能の親和性の問題と考えられるが、可能である場合にはエラーが出ないように改善してほしい。

I saw the error message [<file name>Could not be saved automatically. This file has been modified by another application. Due to unexpected changes, keynote may not be able to save changes.] when I tried to edit/save the iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) files after those files are uploaded to OneDrive for Business via Files On-Demand at Mac OS X.

It sees the issue related to the compatibility between iWork versioning and Files On-Demand, so it would be very appreciated if the error message won’t be shown.

Thank you for your consideration.

There's certain folders I never want synced/backed up. I'm a developer and a lot of my projects are synced with OneDrive. They're some folders (ex: node_modules) that I don't want synced.

The other reason this is important is I sync all my documents, downloads, pictures, etc. This adds up to a lot of files. I've found that OneDrive uses a lot of CPU to monitor these files. If they're sets of files/folders that I never want monitored it can help CPU performance. I have tested this theory by archiving a lot of old directories and also removing folders with lots of files in them (ex: node_modules). OneDrive went from taking ~80% CPU down to 8% to monitor file differences.
