We have KFM working in our macOS environment managed by Intune by pushing the following:

  • Standalone One-Drive app for Apple Silicon (we don't need the Intel version)
  • Two custom configuration profiles for macOS with what we determined were the minimally required key-value pairs:
    • One profile for OneDrive
      • <key>KFMSilentOptIn</key>
        <string>TENANT ID</string>
        <key>KFMSilentOptInDesktop</key>
        <true/>
        <key>KFMSilentOptInDocuments</key>
        <true/>
        <key>KFMSilentOptInWithNotification</key>
        <true/>
        <key>Tier</key>
        <string>Insiders</string>
    • One profile for Microsoft AutoUpdate
      • <key>ChannelName</key>
        <string>Preview</string>

There are many other OneDrive and MAU key-value pairs we added to play with and yours could vary depending on what drives your Intune policies. And we were only able to get OneDrive to install the Insiders version and have KFM working by making sure those key-value pairs above were included in their respective config profile. Looking forward to when KFM is fully out of Insider previews (and for it to add Pictures as a known folder)!
