I'm glad you fixed the Autosave bug with the Mac App store version; that helped a lot. However, one more bug that's really bothering me: even though I've selected "keep all files on this device" at the root, many many files don't actually load until I manually navigate to the folder. This is bad because it means that Alfred can't find these files via Spotlight. Alfred is the main way to I navigate files so this is a deal breaker.
Why isn't it possible to have "always keep on this device" directly download the folders to /CloudStorage rather than to the OneDrive cache elsewhere on the device?

dan_e Running this script in Terminal will create (but not download) the folder structure and files which solved this initial problem for me. It's based on the script provided here .
I don't know, however, whether OneDrive keeps the structure up-to-date as new files and folders are added remotely.
