Just like OneDrive for Windows has with the Auto Save tab 'Protect your important folders' that would allow you to automatically back up anything saved to Documents, Desktop and Pictures folder, I'd love for it to be an option for Mac. Even a step further where additional folders could be selected by the user.

As an admin that manages a number of users on mac, it's been a bit of a push to get users across and some of them are never going to do it the 'right' way and save into their OneDrive. By having this option, it can be set up for them and they can save wherever they choose whilst it also gives me some peace of mind that these users files are being backed up.

I signed up for Office 365, thinking I could use it to replace my Google Drive. However, after a couple days of uploading data to One Drive, I have come to the conclusion that I won't be able to use it since it is so slow in uploading files. I uploaded a batch of files from my Mac to Google Drive last week, and it took one evening to finish. I am now trying to upload the same batch of files from my Mac to One Drive, and I'm 24 hours in and less than 25% done. It also appears to push the processor much more than Google Drive when uploading files, making the system run much hotter.

Spending $70-100 a year for the latest version of Office and One Drive is a price I'm willing to spend. However, if you take One Drive out of the equation, the value is just not there for me and I will likely cancel my Office 365 subscription.

I see a lot of posts on this site complaining about the upload speeds, and I also see official responses announcing it has been improved with the latest desktop client, followed by another large batch of posts saying it isn't. Please keep in mind that any new features you add to One Drive are irrelevant until you fix this core functionality.

My connection dropped (it happens). After one minute it got back again.
Check the difference between Dropbox icon and OneDrive on the attached image.
Dropbox felt the connection dropping, but also realised that it got back together and continued working. After I'm disconnected OneDrive just gives up, It never even bothers checking if my connection is back. I have to close and restar the software.

COME-ON! It should SYNC, so that means it should keep actively looking for my files and for my connection. This is not someone I hired and that needed a break because it got tired, THIS IS SOFTWARE! MAKE IT WORK 24/7, no coffee time for it.

There's certain folders I never want synced/backed up. I'm a developer and a lot of my projects are synced with OneDrive. They're some folders (ex: node_modules) that I don't want synced.

The other reason this is important is I sync all my documents, downloads, pictures, etc. This adds up to a lot of files. I've found that OneDrive uses a lot of CPU to monitor these files. If they're sets of files/folders that I never want monitored it can help CPU performance. I have tested this theory by archiving a lot of old directories and also removing folders with lots of files in them (ex: node_modules). OneDrive went from taking ~80% CPU down to 8% to monitor file differences.

現在はローカル PC 内にファイルを保存するとファイルが開けるため、そちらで対処するが、大変不便であるため、改善してほしい。​

Currently, We are concerned that the Excel file may be unexpectedly corrupted then it cannot be repaired in some cases while using the Excel files on OneDrive for Business with Excel 2016 for Mac devices eventually.

In order to avoid this event, there is a way to restore and open the file by updating the version of Excel 2016 for Mac to 16.13.1 (180523). However, it is confirmed that another device cannot be applied a workaround even if you update the versions. In addition to this, you cannot open it unless reverting the version history to 1.0 even you use the version history of OneDrive for Business, also it is not allowed to revert to the version before file corruption.

Thus, we are assuming that this event occurs because of any bugs or misconfiguration of the system of the Office Client. Since the stable service is not provided to all devices, I found an article regarding the similar event in the Microsoft Community described below.

We are currently using the method to open a file by saving them beforehand in the local PC as a workaround. For above reasons, we strongly hope this event will be mitigated and provides the stable service to use Excel files smoothly from Mac devices as well.

Thank you for your continued support.
