OneDrive Files On-Demand coming to Mac, now available for Insider testing One of the best features to recently hit OneDrive on Windows is now coming to Mac. Dan Thorp-Lancaster. To sync files between Office 2011 for Mac and OneDrive, you need an app called OneDrive. This app is available for free at the App Store. After you download and install the OneDrive app to your Mac, you can tell the app which folders on OneDrive you want to sync on your Mac.

Now I know most people reading this probably aren't concerned about law enforcement trying to see their files saved in the cloud. A more common predicament is when malicious hackers guess or outright steal your account password. If that happens the bad guys would potentially have access to your OneDrive files. That's not a huge deal if all you've got saved to the cloud is old poetry from high school. Unauthorized access to work documents or files with personal information, however, can be devastating. Again, open Windows Explorer.
Right-click the Desktop folder. Select Properties from the context menu.
This time in the Desktop Properties window under the Location Tab click Move, which is right underneath the text entry box. That opens another Explorer window showing a variety of locations on your PC such as your user account folder, OneDrive, and This PC. Double-click OneDrive from among those options to open the OneDrive folder. Then on the next screen click New folder at the top left of the window.
When the new folder appears in the main section of the window name it Desktop and press Enter on your keyboard.
The new interface looks pretty slick, though there's currently no firm timeline for when to expect it to arrive, other than a general 'this summer.' This goes hand-in-hand with another big improvement coming to OneDrive with the return of Placeholders, now called Files On Demand. Microsoft last week revealed that Files On Demand, which lets you see all of your OneDrive files on your PC without actually eating up any local storage, will be coming with the Fall Creators Update. Alongside the new OneDrive features, Microsoft also revealed a new personalized search, some new PowerApps interactions, and communication sites are coming to SharePoint.
