A new way to access all of your Google Drive files on demand, directly from your Mac or PC, without using up all of your disk space. Get Started Access Google Drive on your phone or tablet.

When you install the OneDrive app for Mac, a copy of your OneDrive is downloaded to your Mac and put in the OneDrive folder. This folder is kept in sync with OneDrive. If you add, change, or delete a file or folder on the OneDrive website, the file or folder is added, changed, or deleted in your OneDrive folder and vice versa.

To upload files to OneDrive automatically, just copy or move the files to your OneDrive folder using the Finder, or save them in your OneDrive folder from an app. Files you upload this way can be up to 15GB in size if you're signed in to a Microsoft account, or 15GB if you're signed in to a work or school account. If you installed the OneDrive app on other computers, the files will automatically be added to the OneDrive folders on them, too.

You can also use the Finder to rename and delete files, create new folders, and move files around in your OneDrive folder. The changes will automatically be made in OneDrive and your other computers that have the OneDrive app installed.

The OneDrive sync client lets you sync files from your OneDrive for Business and even from SharePoint sites if your admin enabled it. (If you're the IT admin for your organization, see Enable users to sync SharePoint files with the new OneDrive sync client.)

Note: To use the OneDrive desktop app to sync your work files, you need an Office 365 business account.

Note: As of 1 February 2019, OneDrive only supports new installations on Mac OS 10.12 or newer. For more information, see OneDrive End Of Support Notice

Install and set up

If you have signed in to the OneDrive sync client with a Microsoft account (for example, someone@outlook.com), you should already have the OneDrive desktop app and you can skip to step 2 below.

1. Install OneDrive for Mac.

   Important: If you are currently using the OneDrive Mac Store app, you must first uninstall it before installing the latest build of the OneDrive desktop app.

2. Start OneDrive Setup.

Method 1: If you have no accounts signed in to OneDrive

If you're not signed in to OneDrive with any account, start OneDrive to connect a work or school account.

1. Start OneDrive by pressing cmd+Space to launch a Spotlight query and type OneDrive. This starts OneDrive Setup.

2. Enter your work or school account and then select Sign in to set up your account.

Method 2: If you already have a personal account signed in to OneDrive

If you already have a personal account signed in to OneDrive, you’ll want to add a work or school account in OneDrive Preferences.

1. Click the OneDrive cloud icon up in your Menu bar, click the three dots to open the menu, and select Preferences.

2. Click the Account tab, and then select Add an Account to start OneDrive Setup.

3. Enter your work or school account and click Sign in.

Key parts of OneDrive Setup

There are a few points of OneDrive Setup that are helpful to watch for:

• On the This is your OneDrive folder screen, click Choose OneDrive Folder Location.

  Select a location where you would like to save your OneDrive files and click Choose this location.

  When you see the This is your OneDrive folder screen, you’ll now see a path to the folder you selected. Click Next to continue.

• On the Sync Files from Your OneDrive screen, you can choose the folders you want to sync to your computer, and click Next. This conserves space on your computer, and reduces bandwidth needed for the sync processes.

• When you see Your OneDrive Is Ready for You, the last thing to do is make sure you select Open at login so my files sync automatically. This will ensure that OneDrive runs at login and you always have the most up to date version of all your files.

  After you enable OneDrive to open at login, you’re done! Click Open your OneDrive folder to see your files sync to your folder.

You can find OneDrive up in your Menu bar. You’ll have a cloud icon for every account you’ve connected to OneDrive. So you’ll have one cloud if you’re only syncing a work or school account, one cloud if you’re syncing only a personal account, or two clouds if you’re syncing both.

You’ll also see a folder in Finder called OneDrive – YourTenantName.

Network Tools For Mac

Note: Contoso is an example name. You will see the name of your organization.

Turn on Finder integration

If you’re on OSX 10.10 or higher, get sync status directly from Finder by enabling Finder overlays in Settings.

First, click the Apple logo in the top left corner of your Mac Desktop and select System Preferences, then select Extensions in the top-level menu (shown in the 3rd row from the top).

Toggle on the OneDrive Finder Integration to enable Finder overlays.

You’re all set. Open up your OneDrive folder in Finder to see overlays on your files and folders.

If you're an admin and want to enable sync icon overlays on multiple computers, you can use this Terminal command:

/usr/bin/pluginkit -e use -i com.microsoft.OneDrive-mac.FinderSync

Sync SharePoint sites

To sync libraries and folders

1. Click the Office 365 app launcher , and then click SharePoint.

2. Click the site that you want to sync.

3. Click Documents or navigate to the subfolder that you want to sync.

4. Click Sync.

5. If your browser requests permission to use 'Microsoft OneDrive,' confirm that this is okay.

   Note: Your organization needs to enable SharePoint site syncing with the OneDrive desktop app for you to sync sites on your Mac. If you're the IT admin for your organization, see Enable users to sync SharePoint files with the new OneDrive sync client. If you're not the IT admin, contact your IT department.

6. Choose the folders that you want to sync, and then click Start sync.

SharePoint team sites sync under a folder with your tenant name. This folder is automatically added to the left navigation pane in Finder.

Manage your syncing sites

You can manage your syncing sites in the sync client settings.

1. Click the OneDrive icon in the menu bar.

2. Click Preferences, and then click the Account tab.

3. To change the folders that you're syncing, click Choose Folders for that location, and then choose the folders that you want to sync. To stop syncing a site, click Stop Sync next to the site. (Copies of the files remain on your computer. You can delete them if you want.)

2. Hello!

   Dont forget this two nice google features:
   1.) m.google.com/sync - sync between mobile and google apps
   2.) http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955 - sync your calendar with outlook and google - so @ all time your calendar is up to date

3. You can add aDrive to the list. It has a free version for personal use with a 50gb online limit. I use it and find it works quite well.

4. Nice list. As for online backup I have switched from Mozy, to Memopal memopal.com/ because it gives 150 Gb for up to ten computers I think (I'm using only 3. It has an iphone version and you can send a link to any file.

5. Thanks Thien Rong, tried hibernater and it is working great, now i don't have to upload my files to my email everytime

6. I think you can add http://www.hibernater

   It is a window program that stores your data online in a central server,
   - histories of Internet Explorer and Firefox
   - favorites you choose to save
   - Does not need installation
   - hibernate/store your current files (Current supported apps : MS office, IE tabs, firefox tabs)
   - resume/load next time on any other PC the files hibernated/stored previously
   - auto-login your MSN Messager

7. Excelent list! I think you could add dropbox(getdropbox.com) to it, it's an excellent file sync tool, cross-platform, with share and version tracking.

8. Definitely missing xdrive here (5Go of free space)
   If you use Xdrive on Adobe Air it is even better!
   Enjoy and share!

9. Very nice article! I work for Melodeo on the nuTsie product - thanks for the mention. Normally we manage to upload/process your iTunes library in under an hour. We've occasionally had times when it went as long as a couple of days for a small number of users - very sorry you were one of those!

   Sincerely,

   Bob Wise
   VP Engineering
   Melodeo, Inc.

   • Thanks for dropping by.

     Despite it taking that long, I still consider Nutsie the best music tool for mobile devices and recommend it to pretty much everyone. :-)

10. FYI FolderShare works on Macs too.

11. You can also use simkl.com to sync your chat history from AIM, iChat, Pidgim, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Miranda, Adium messengers.

12. Too Windows-centric.

    For me, there are just two words: rsync, and git :)

13. Of course rsync is the simplest answer

14. Great List, thanks. I hope ill use one of these in the near future.

15. Helpful List - you got my delicious bookmark :)

    Another great sync tool that we use is SyncBackSE - Allows us to automate backups of important documents from 5 computers onto one central drive. We purchased our copy but I believe they have a freeware version as well. Also allows to backup to FTP which is nice if you need that.

    We then use Mozy to backup the central drive for additional protection.

    Also, don't forget Hamachi which is great for sharing your folders across multiple computers (setting up a private network over the internet) - which then you may also use to backup and sync files to your computers which I do for syncing my Roboform Data from my office computer and home computer. Roboform is a gem which I couldn't live without... It allows me to keep all my passwords in one place, and currently I have about 400 passwords!

16. Aibek, nice article! There's a couple of items there I wasn't familiar with that I'm definitely going to check out.

    I did a couple write-ups telling people how to set up Google Browser Sync and Mozy on my blog so if anyone has any questions, hop on over to http://www.shawnw.org and get to readin'! :)

17. One good sync tool u've forgotten to add is ZYB (www.zyb.com). I've been using this service for more than 2 yrs now and it hasn't failed me even once. Syncing the mobile happens in a jiffy. Its a must try for all mobile users.

18. I don't even know where to start. Nice list. I feel like I've been missing out all this time. The only thing I ever share between machines is my google bookmarks (using the toolbar).
