    Would love to have this feature on macOS. As an enterprise customer we always strive to align with our Windows Platform so this feature would enable us to do so. Please bring to market!

    In higher education sector macOS is a fact of life. Windows users are all enjoying the benefits of the M365 experience. Anything that can be done to improve the macOS M365 experience i.e. make it align with Windows would help us (IT department) and our clients.

    We basically do this with symlinks and a substantial number of computer and incorporated it into our installation script. Seems to work fine. Would be nice for Microsoft to officially support this approach though.

    Is Microsoft still looking into this or are you actually working on this? This would be great as I'm starting to have more Mac users and need this functionality.

    This feature is very important to me and my Mac user friends, all of whom I am sending to this site today.

    I think I speak for all of us when I say we would like a progress report on this feature. Just today a user lost everything on their desktop when their Mac died and their iCloud backup wasn't up to date. Getting Mac or PC users to save their stuff to anywhere other than the desktop is surprisingly difficult to do. We need a solution NOW.

    This would be a great feature to have on the Mac client side and for E3 Office customers. Would go nicely with legal hold.

    Looks like drobox has this functionality working now and google drive has an app that allows this.

    I hate that I have Macs in my network but it is a necessary evil. Most of my Mac users will not use the OneDrive I installed on their systems so if I could set it to sync the documents, desktop and downloads folders it would solve that issue. Tried symlinks and unless I move the above mentioned folders to the OneDrive Folder and then create symlinks for those back to their original place it does not work. This is messy and Macs don't really like it much.
    Just adding the ability to use standard symlinks would be great!

    This would be fantastic. Getting users to actually use OneDrive is difficult, this would help the issue enormously.

    When I was using dropbox, i was able to achieve this by creating symlinks inside the dropbox folder and it synced the files; unfortunately, symlinks are not supported in OneDrive. It shouldn't be that hard.

    How may I find out if this moves out of the "Thinking About It" stage to "Working On It"? This is a long, long requested feature. Really important because we protect our users data by policy - but if it's not in OneDrive, I can't protect it. Then I get users backing up their desktop and documents to iCloud because OneDrive can't do this. They're bumping up against iCloud's meagre 5gb limit, and keeping me awake at night because data leaves our organization this way. I even tried using symlinks to do this, but it appears Microsoft turned off even this capability. Please help us.

    Google Drive is now capable of doing this and so is iCloud Drive. Should be possible with OneDrive also.

    if the feature is developed for the windows version it should be developed for the mac version
