This is a very critical feature for anyone who uses OneDrive seriously on macOS.

I still have to use iCloud Drive because this isn't possible. This would be the final killer feature for OneDrive.

I agree, please make Mac syncing available for the Documents and Desktop items. We have a mixed Mac and PC environment, and all of the Windows users are happily using OneDrive to sync their items and work from home when necessary, but the Mac users feel left out and unable to access their desktops and docs like the Windows users do.

I had high hopes of using symbolic links for this purpose, but all the docs that I tried with this suggestion don't work anymore. Did Microsoft turn off the ability for OneDrive to work with symbolic links?

Nice to know you're Thinking About It. Please think harder - and faster.

Its about 1 and half year since that request has been posted. Please Enable Mac users to define native Mac folders that are to be synced automatically. e.g. ~/Documents, ~/Desktop, ~/Pictures, etc.
This functionality is already available in Windows, and should be made available for Mac to be truly cross-platform. Users are not using OneDrive on Mac because of this missing functionality and we need to pay extra for similar backup solutions from other vendors which is defeating the purpose of going with Office 365 and sync their documents the same way Windows users do. Thanks! -

My organization recently switched over to onedrive/ sharepoint from Dropbox for all data storage and computer backup. But serval of us have macs and now we can't back up our computers and one drive is basically useless and just cases issues with my workflow now,

I have 1TB just sitting around doing nothing since most of my data is on my MacBook, I don't see what the problem is in adding the feature as they already have the on-demand feature! I might as well cancel my subscription and go to google's cloud.

We need this to move forward with the Cloud migration of or MAC machines.

This would be tremendously helpful - my org is moving towards "cloudy" endpoints on the windows side, and the macOS endpoints are feeling pain from the lack of feature parity.

I have posted our early release of MacOS-OneDrive-KFM. It is in our Git repo here: https://github.com/synapsepd/MacOS-OneDrive-KFM
The meat of the application lives here:

It is absolutely CRAZY that this has not been done already for iOS!! It is otherwise USELESS to have OneDrive with your Mac!! Last night I made changes to my Documents and Desktop and today I go in my OneDrive with my iPhone and I can´t find my files because the sync does not take place automatically. Therefore, guess what, I use my iCloud instead which DOES sync everything automatically! WITHOUT THIS OneDrive is not worth it because you will always use iCloud instead!!

@Brian McFarlane - I'd be very curious how your pilot went using symlinks

We are doing a trial pilot of sym linked directories (desktop / documents) inside the onedrive synced directory. Thus giving the same KFM experience to mac users. We would like it though if this were baked into the product.

It's important for us to be able to deploy a similar feature on the MacOS. Now that the new GPO's and Azure join functionality is allowing the Onedrive to autoconfigure both the drive pathing/login/kfm, we need a method to do something partially similar through a mac script or exe switches.

Icloud is better option for backup desktop and document if you have enough space for same as by default only 5 GB available for more you have to buy....both app have cons.

iCloud does this, and has done it for awhile. It's a pretty sad day when Apple's iCloud anything beats anyone to the punch for a feature.
Seriously though, would be great to have next.

Yes please! This would make life so much easier/better for our students and teachers at our school.

Yes, as long as the feature is in Office for Windows, it is important to our user base to have it work the same in MacOS.
