Unfortunately, Microsoft ended OneDrive support for MacOS 10.10 and 10.11 on Feb 1, 2019. You will need to update your MacOS to 10.12 or newer to install OneDrive. More information can be found at the bottom of the following Microsoft Press release: Dave An Independent Advisor. The Mac version includes: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook. Both versions include: 1 TB (Terabyte) of OneDrive cloud storage, plus 60 Skype minutes of calling per month to mobile phones and landlines. Compatible only with Windows 7 and newer PCs, or Mac OS X 10.10 and newer Mac computers.
In an announcement of new OneDrive features coming to the mobile clients, Microsoft said that it will be ending support for OneDrive on OS X 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan on February 1, 2019. The news isn't surprising, as Apple isn't even supporting the older versions of its OS anymore.
If you're still using the OneDrive sync client on Yosemite or El Capitan, don't worry, as it will continue to work. You should still think about upgrading to a newer version of macOS though, as you're pretty much running in an unsupported state. The client will no longer be tested on those OS versions, and issues won't be investigated or fixed after February 1.
Also, new installations of the sync client will be blocked on OS X 10.10 and 10.11. That means that while it will continue to run for the time being, if you uninstall OneDrive or reset your PC, you won't be able to get it back.
Microsoft is recommending that you upgrade your Mac to at least macOS 10.12 before February 1, but for the best experience, you should go for macOS 10.14 Mojave. After all, you'll need to be on the latest version of the OS to get OneDrive Files On-Demand.

You can sync your OneDrive for Business library to your computer so that you have a copy in both places. You can then work directly in Finder and open/save to this location directly from any application installed on your computer. Any updates in either location will sync with the other whenever your computer is online.
The OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client is supported on OS X version 10.12 (Sierra) and above.
Install and Set-Up
If you have signed into the OneDrive client with a personal Microsoft account, you should already have the new OneDrive for Business sync client and you can skip to step 2 below.
- Install OneDrive from the Mac app store.
- Start OneDrive Setup.
Method 1: If you have no accounts signed in to OneDrive
If you are not signed in to OneDrive with any account, start OneDrive to connect a work or school account.
- Start OneDrive by pressing cmd+Space to launch a Spotlight query and type OneDrive. This starts OneDrive Setup.
- Enter your full UAlbany Mail email address 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 your UAlbany account in OneDrive Preferences.
- Click the OneDrive cloud icon up in your Menu bar and select Preferences.
- Click the Account tab and in the new Add Account.
- Enter your full UAlbany Mail email address and click Sign in.

OneDrive Setup
Now that you have installed the sync client and added your UAlbany account, you can configure it for your computer:
- 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 your UAlbany 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 – UAlbany or OneDriveBusiness.
