Onedrive History How To Use It

If, however, you dont know how to use it, refer to the pages below for a lesson.

To be frank, it can be pretty frustrating, because all of them claim to be the best at what they do.

This means as long as you have a computer with an internet connection, be it Windows or Mac, you can easily access your files from wherever you are.

The rivalry between the two companies makes it seem unlikely they would shake hands and develop apps that complement both their individual operating systems.

But OneDrive is proof that the needs of both their customers outweighs anything else.

Using it is really little different from using any folder on your Mac.

The only real difference is the data you store in your local OneDrive folder is also stored on OneDrive servers.

Copying files into OneDrive couldnt have been easier too: Just copy or drag and dump everything into the folder and it will seamlessly be uploaded to the cloud.

At the bottom-left of the sidebar, you will see Get the OneDrive apps.

There are other ways you can launch the app but this method is quite convenient.

To break this down, it means all the files youve saved in your OneDrive folder on your Mac wont sync with the real OneDrive in the cloud; or perhaps your other devices.

Fortunately for you, this is neither a rare nor difficult problem to deal with.

Then again, for someone who has never done something that, could prove to be quite the challenge.

There will most likely be two OneDrive items for you to kill: OneDrive Finder Integration and OneDrive.

This is mostly the case if your Mac is running both the Personal and Business version of OneDrive.

If youre prompted to authenticate as an administrator, do so.

Youll have to type your login details and set OneDrive up again, but youve already been taught how to do that, havent you.

Untick all the folders you dont want to be added to your Mac.

The folders you dont untick have automatically been added to OneDrive.

Doing that will change the default directory set by OneDrive to the one you chose.

The app will create a new folder in the default folder you selected and name it OneDrive.

Choose the one you want and it will be the new location for your OneDrive, effectively changing your OneDrive main folder.

Once you decide on a folder in the file explorer window, simply click on it.

A new folder titled OneDrive will then be created in the main folder you chose.
