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.

I'm not surprised Microsoft has not taken the time to fix the problem of not being able to sync from an external drive - it's MICROSOFT! It should be an easy thing to fix after all, even a low level coder could probably sort it out but no, us Mac users are ignored as irrelevant!
JUST PULL YOUR FINGER OUT MICROSOFT!

Its really frustrating, while Google Drive can give you this service for free, OneDrive subscribers can not have this option!
Truly urging Microsoft add such option. -

On my MacBook I've moved all my Cloud Drives (Dropbox, GDrive etc.) onto my SD-Card but with OneDrive it wasn't possible.
I've just found it out after I've moved my entire folder to the SD-Card.
Since then I'm not using OneDrive anymore
because I don't want to move the entire folder back on my internal SSD-Drive. -

I use a mac with 120GB internal storage. Living in a remote location with slow internet, so files on demand is not an option. I have an external Transcend Jetdrive Connected to my memory card slot which houses Dropbox and GoogleDrive. Still don't understand why Microsoft can't do this.

I have large number of files that I need to sync. Even with "on demand" sync of files it is large. I would like to Sync to my external USB-C SSD.

Implement it and TAKE MY MONEY. Without it, I can't get behind One Drive for Mac :(

Yep. Try to catch up with DropBox on this one! It's vital for anyone who travels and works on the go. :)

This is nonsensical. I'll actually have to change cloud services merely because the large external drive I use is 'ejectable'? Many of us are using actual drives to keep Time Machine backups and other giant files. I can't burn internal space for my large library, and download on demand is a lousy compromise.

This feature was available as I had my OneDrive folder on an external USB drive at one time.
I have just tried to re-implement it only to discover it no longer works.
Why would you remove functionality like that... it makes no sense.
Please bring back the ability to put the OneDrive folder on an external drive. Pretty please! With a cherry on top. -

This is really frustrating, this feature is basic and should have been included by default from the first version of Onedrive for mac. It has no sense it is missing.

Here is what is weird.. I have a OneDrive personal account. I have a 2TB external SSD connected to my IMac. The OneDrive sync folder works perfectly on that external drive. I also have a Macbook Pro with a 128GB Mini Flash Drive. OneDrive will NOT sync to the Flash Drive. Both drives are are formatted exactly the same. It is a shame Microsoft has not addressed this issue for Mac users. :(
