OneDrive App on Mac - multiple accounts sync
Well the App on Mac OS allows only one account to by sync. Funny enough the same app on iOS allows to sync multiple Office 365 accounts. It should be a no-brainer we need the same functionality on Mac OS...

This works fine now, I sync OneDrive personal and two OneDrive for Business accounts, including SharePoint libraries from both Business accounts, just fine on Mac and have for a few months.

It works now. Go to Preferences, Account Tab, Add an account. You can add multiple One Drive for business accounts and one Personal Account

I have it working with two accounts (one personal, one business). Follow this guide:
Scroll down to method 2 and follow the instructions

Clearly its been years since people have been saying how there should be the option of linking several onedrive accounts on the mac. You'd think they would have listened. I'm here in October 2020, trying to figure out if this is possible, to come across this thread realizing it is not. Sad. Make this happen.

Dit is essentieel om efficient in meerdere accounts te kunnen werken

While you can sync multiple OneDrive accounts from the same multi-domained tenant, it's a bit of a process and you can only be signed into one account a time. The process is, you have to sign into the app with one login, and then use the web-OneDrive portal to sync down the other OneDrive. Oh, and both OneDrive folders can't coexist in the same home directory, so you'll need to create a subfolder for the 2nd OneDrive folder.

Multiple accounts are possible in OSX, the strange behaviour is that it needs to have multiple icons in the status bar, instead of just one. I fully understand the need to have separate processes for each account, but multiple accounts icons? What if we had 10 different accounts?

It is strange that you can do sync multiple accounts on iOS but not on the much more powerful Mac. It's like a clear oversight.

1000 percent agree that developers should provide option for users to have 5 folders - 5 accounts to sync on 1 mac or provide an option to a user to choose whether to have 5 tb on 1 mac or have 5 folders to sync one by one.

This is a concern to me as we have 11 computers in the office, 3 of which are Macs. Our file sharing strategy is based on OneDrive and each of use being able to share each other's files. Without this ability I will have to resort back to using Dropbox. Please enable multiple accounts on OneDrive as soon as possible. The PC's are working fine and sharing files without problems. Thanks in advance for looking into this for us.
