A few major bugs with this "files on demand" build. What is the BEST way to report them?
Surely there is something more technical (i.e. sends system logs) than just the "happy" or "sad" face feedback options?
Number 1 issue is at startup you need to relaunch the Finder for it to show the OneDrive sync icons next to files. I have this scripted in my startup by hand. Seeing high CPU usage when idle sometimes that is killing my battery and I have to quit out of OneDrive.
It seems that overall Microsoft could be doing a much better job of making us Mac users feel like we are part of the development cycle. It seems that the OneDrive app will not be updating itself automatically and we need to keep checking by hand for new builds. Just sad guys, so much effort because you guys aren't organizing stuff for us. Get it together...

In answer to my own question and for the benefit of others:
LOCATING THE .JSON FILE
1. Open Finder
2. In the finder menu bar choose 'Go'
3. At the bottom of the menu choose "Go to Folder"
4. An entry field pops up in the finder window, enter the address "~/Library/Caches/OneDrive" and click enter
5. The .json in question file will be evident - delete this. -

Where do I locate ~/Library/Caches/OneDrive to delete the .json files?
I can find two locations for Library/Caches on my system but neither contain any reference to OneDrive as noted above?
Seems I am not the only one with this problem?

I can't seem to make this work. I went through the steps and I don't seem to have this thread either ( ~/Library/Caches/OneDrive). Also the .json that I searched for 'on my mac' file all have a safari icon and i am hesitant to delete those, especially since they are not in the above path. CAn anyone help?

I have no folder ~/Library/Caches/OneDrive. It was a problem to even launch it, and now it's a problem to explain users what they should do to even try it. Ridiculous.

Brilliant. So far, so good - it is working well. This kind of feature parity between platforms is makes OneDrive much more competitive with Google and Dropbox.

So good to see this come to the Mac. Assume the delay was due to the requirement of APFS. Either way, the wait was worth it!

This is great. However I am having an issue. How do you provide feedback or get support? It is successfully syncing my files from online. However, if I add a new file through finder it never uploads it just sits with the double sync arrows. The on drive client interface shows all files in sync.

This is great news to see this in motion with a preview version. What would you guess is a normal time frame estimate before this update is available in the Mac App Store for download, 3-6 months? Thanks

Great job so far, the preview works well in my first testing. Let's see if I can make it through the day with it.
