OneDrive for Business sync SharePoint libraries on Mac

Is there any view on when the OneDrive for Business sync for Mac will support syncing SharePoint libraries?

  • The new preview sync SharePoint libraries. That's all OK.

    I have problems only with my account on a single Mac.

    Nobody help me so now I think to uninstall and reinstall the APP :-)

      I have followed all steps.

       

      I have also enable team site sync with the following commands in the Terminal APP: 

      Defaults write com.microsoft.OneDrive TeamSiteSyncPreview -bool True

      Defaults write com.microsoft.OneDriveUpdate Tier Team

      Killall cfprefsd

       

      1. On the Office 365 app launcher, choose SharePoint.

      2. Click the site that you want to sync.

      3. Click Documents or navigate to the subfolder that you want to sync.

      4. Click Sync, and then choose Sync now.

       Here we have the problem, if I click on Sync now the system have to open a OneDrive Windows version and not a Mac version, so I can't add SharePoint site to it!!

       

       

      How can I sync the SharePoint sites?

        Hi Vincenzo,

         

        We had the same problems, which was caused by the level of rights. Did you entered the the commands in the terminal after elevating your rights (by using su)? After this is done you should be able to sync the SharePoint libaries the same way you do on Windows (click sync in SP and OD asks for confirmation).

         

        Kind regards,

        Sonny
