    Also allow users to do so through the GUI. Similar to the Choose Folders UI in the Accounts tab.

    Enable Mac system administrators 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.

  2. Sync via symbolic links

    No, no, no, no, no. DON"T do symbolic links. Just give it the capability of targeting native, default folders. Syncplicity, for example, can do this. Symbolic links can be a problem. If they become invalid, the OS gets into a panic and you end up jamming up login and other processes, applications generate errors and so on. Users shouldn't have to know how to create a symbolic link to use capability like this.

  3. Allow the mac version to install OneDrive folder at removable disk

    What they're actually asking for is better handling of low disk space scenarios.
    Better to fix that - the actual underlying problem - rather than put in a workaround ("solution") that randos on the internet came up with.

    If you do this, you need to allow system administrators to override and block it. I can't have corporate data being synced to unmanaged storage (i.e. not protected by FileVault).
    This is really a dumb request, because at it's core, it's asking to make cloud data portable on an external drive.
    Why not just sync specific folders, if you're worried about filling up the drive?

  4. Synce Documents, Desktop and Downloads folder on OneDrive on a Mac
