One Mac, multiple OneDrive accounts?
- Jul 10, 2023
Hi Gary_Schiltz,
it isn't officially supported by Microsoft to sync multiple OneDrive Business Premium accounts to a single OneDrive installation on a Mac, but you can try this as a workaround:
1. Install OneDrive App
2. Sign in to the First Account: sign in using the credentials of the first account (gary(at)myorg...). Set up the sync preferences and choose the folders you want to sync.
3. Create a New User Profile: create a new user profile for the second OneDrive account (itadmin(at)myorg...).
- Go to "System Preferences" > "Users & Groups".
- Click the lock icon and enter your password to make changes.
- Click the "+" button to create a new user profile.
- Follow the prompts to set up the new profile.4. Switch to the New User Profile: Log out of your current user profile and log in to the new user profile.
5. Install OneDrive App for the Second Account: In the new user profile, install the OneDrive app and sign in using the credentials of the second account (itadmin(at)myorg...).
You will then have separate user profiles on your Mac, each with own OneDrive app and associated account. This allows you to sync files from both accounts separately.
This include workaround switching between user profiles to access different OneDrive accounts.
It may not be as good as having both accounts synced within a single user profile, but it provides a way to access files from multiple accounts on the same Mac.

just another idea.
You can always give access to your OneDrive to other Users, so they would be able to add a shortcut to their OneDrive of the files you stored in your OneDrive.
But be aware if you leave the company and your account is deleted so will be your OneDrive will all files you stored.
Therefore, I would strongly suggest creating a SharePoint SiteCollection with a Library to store important information there. All the Files can also be synced with the OneDrive Client. Also, it's easy to share the SiteCollection or a Folder / File with certain users.
Hope this helps!
