    Hi Chris,  Could you point us to your information source please.

     

    I've just checked out the O365 roadmap and cant see Files on Demand for Mac in there....

    This feature (or rather lack of) is presently a barrier to use using Teams with our marketing department that comprises several MAC users who spend hours of their lives in In Design. It would be an incredibly useful feature to have access to!

     

    All I can see right now is that the feature is a limitation for MAC users

       Here is the user voice for it. I've been checking sessions and QA's from Ignite but I know swore they were looking at doing it later on but not right now.

        Strong voice there for consistent experiences across platforms. Lets hope its a feature that is raised and prioritised.

    Where did you see that this is officially confirmed?

    I'm watching the situation for a while now, but never seen anyone from MS really say: Yes, we are definitely bringing it to the mac, only 'yeah we'd love too but we're still looking at it.
