Forgive me if it has been posted before, I did look around but didn't see anything, but is there going to be a OneDrive Files on Demand for Mac users?

Yes, they said they were working on it.

Oh yes, files on demand for Mac can't come soon enough!

Thanks Deleted, I hope it is soon, I have a few users that will be happy when it is released.

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.

Come on Microsoft. Give us an update on this.... unless its included in Feature ID: 23759 of the 365 roadmap, then I can't see any progress or plans. Its a game changer for users and IT Teams.Without it data governance for Mac users become needlessly more complicated than it might be.

so OneDrive files on demand is integrated into the NTFS of Windows 10. Tehre are 2 Attributes, that controls the sync behavior. So this will not work on another System like Apples files System. So use OneDrive.Uservoice.com

  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.
