OneDrive on MAC opens OneDrive on Windows (via Pararrels)

[Marcel Alberts]

Hi,

I have a MAC and already a few SharePoint sites synced. Recently I installed Parallels with a virtiual instance of Windows. When I now want to sync a new SharePoint document library it opens OneDrive on Parallels .. I cannot find a setting on the MAC to make my OneDrive MAC version as default ... suggestions ?

Hi,

Not a fix, but a workaround : disable Windows applications sharing with the Mac ; sync your new SharePoint document library ; it opens the MAC Onedrive App and voilà ! You can then reactivate Windows applications sharing with the Mac until next time.

Hope this helps.

under "read more" you can find how to change the start behaviour of onedrive

Hi, I am not sure about that. I did open the read more link, it opens an help page teaching one how to associate a specific file type with an app, be it a Mac app or a Windows one.
Thing is when you click the sync «button» in Sharepoint/Safari, you don't see a file with an extension. So you just can't edit it's properties and associate it with an app. Could you be more specific about how we could edit such a link's properties to associate it with the Mac's Onedrive app?

Have the same problem, did you find a fix?

The solution from Mathijs worked perfect for me!

Hi Marcel, are you able to elaborate on this? I cant work out what to click on to change the opening behaviour....
Thx
