How can we improve OneDrive on Mac?

← OneDrive on Mac

Allow the mac version to install OneDrive folder at removable disk

A lot of macs have expensive and limited SSDs and it would be convenient to be able to put the OneDrive folder at a external drive.

    It is pretty ridiculous that the first suggestion is from 2016 and still it is not possible! We pay a premium price to use the service so wouldn't it be nice of you Microsoft to listen to the people that pay for you?

    This needs to be added. MS needs to support their products better and give the users what they need. Every other service can do this except onedrive which a pay a premium for.

    This is possible now. You just need to do this, when installing / connecting the account the first time. A feature like in Dropbox or Adobe CC to be able to move the folder would be nice also.

    I just bought a 256G flash disk for my MacBook because it's only has a 128G SSD, and I can't install OneDrive folder at the flash disk now, it's a terrible problem, how could i do with it?

    This is a much needed feature, since drive space is a premium on apple products. This will definitely drive adoption of 1 drive even higher.

    When my MacOS High Sierra external drive containing the OneDrive folder gets disconnected, there is a severe memory leak when the app resynchronises; grows by approximately 1GB for every 20 files, yes thats one Gig for every Twenty files.

    As I have about sixty thousand files, this means repeatedly stopping and restarting the app, given it consumes so much memory, and swap that no other application functions

    Would like to sync Onedrive selectively with some folders on my MACbook hard drive and some folders on an external drive connected to my MacBook. Can this be done? Apparently not, so I will continue to use Google drive where you can do this.

    how is it possible that EVERY time my external drive gets disconnected from the computer, i have to scan the ENTIRETY of my OneDrive files again next time I boot up?! This takes 6-7 hours before ANYTHING can get synced from my external drive again! That's seriously unacceptable.

    Hey Jason we don't know if you use MBP but some MBP have low SSD Disk that full at moment to sync with our one drive cloud. I though it's moment to work not?

    Please implement this option ASAP. If we could do this I'd implement OneDrive for all our staff and students immediately. Without this option it is not feasible to use Onedrive in our school environment.
