OneDrive app stopped running on Mac

This is a known macOS container corruption issue and a clean reinstall almost always resolves it.
The core issue is a corrupted local OneDrive configuration. A clean reinstall will resolve it.

Steps to Fix:

 1. Uninstall OneDrive Completely:

• Open Finder > Applications.
• Drag Microsoft OneDrive to the Trash.
• Empty the Trash.

 2. Remove the Library Folder (Key Step):

• In Finder, press Cmd + Shift + G.
• Type ~/Library and press Go.
• Find and delete these two folders:

~/Library/Application Support/OneDrive

~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.OneDrive-mac

• This clears the corrupted settings causing the error.

 3. Fresh Install & Restart:

• Download the latest OneDrive for Mac directly from onedrive.com/download.
• Open the downloaded OneDrive.pkg and follow the installer.
• Restart your Mac (important for clean initialization).

 4. Set Up OneDrive:

• After restart, open OneDrive from your Applications folder.
• Sign in with your Microsoft 365 account.
• During setup, it will recreate the necessary folder. Choose its location carefully.

You should now be back in sync. This process preserves all your cloud files; you're just re-establishing the local sync connection.

If the issue persists, please check for any system updates in System Preferences > Software Update and ensure you have sufficient disk space.
