macOS - duplicate OneDrive file storage
The files in my macOS (Sequoia 15.6.1, M2 MacBook Air, Microsoft 365 Family) OneDrive folder at /Users/XXX/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal/ use 111 GB of hard drive space. The exact same files appear in /Users/XXX/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.OneDriveStandaloneSuite/OneDrive.noindex/OneDrive/, consuming another 111 GB of storage space. Is this really the case, and if so, WHY? Could one set of files just be APFS clones, and if so, how to verify this? The Finder as well as apps GrandPerspective and OmniDiskSweeper seem to suggest that both groups of identical files are consuming real hard drive space.

Dear experts, Since two versions back, the EMBED FONT setting is not shown in the SAVE part of the Preferences window. This is really irritating and the only way to make it show up is to rename files all the time. Before the file name was truncated and after a number of characters, it was just ... (Example: Filename_long...) I hope that Microsoft can fix this ASAP.Outlook for Mac - Upload and Share is not working as access "Recipients of this message" is missing
New Outlook for Mac has since some versions back gotten the feature where the user can upload a file and share it to the recipients of the e-mail. The file will be per default be uploaded to DOWNLOAD folder in OneDrive. Now this is not working on Outlook for Mac as the whole access permission Recipients of this message" is missing. On Windows and Outlook on Web, this is available, but not for New Outlook for Mac. It seems that this feature is not yet fully developed on Outlook for Mac. Any others that see the same and can confirm?Disabling Microsoft AutoUpdate
I have a customer with a Mac mini M4 with multiple user accounts. Each user has access to Office 365 apps, Outlook, Word, Excel. I have disabled Automatic Updates in the AutoUpdate app. This has not stopped app from showing updates are available. I want the update app to not open when updates are available. My question is what can I do to stop there update app from opening but still have it available for manual checking and updating. Thanks Len Levin BSC
PDF figures inserted in Word exhibit black background
I am using Word for Mac to prepare a manuscript. I inserted a PDF figure with transparent background, which was created with Adobe Illustrator. It looks fine on my Mac. But when I transfer the document to a Windows computer, the transparent background of the figure becomes black. For other Office softwares, such as PowerPoint, similar issues also happen. I know if I convert the figure to png format would fix the issue. But I still want to stick on the PDF format since it's vector image and compatible with LaTeX. Can you figure out why is this happening and how to fix it? Thanks!!Powerpoint for Mac - placeholder lines are VERY THICK after version 16.100.2
Dear MS team, After update 16.100.2 of PowerPoint for Mac, the lines of the placeholders are VERY thick. It looks terrible and under LAYOUT, you can even see the layouts design after this update. Below are some screenshots, from our corporate template and from MS standard blank template. I have reported this as well under GIVE FEEDBACK, but I also take the opportunity to post it here as well. Please fix this, thanks :)
Persian Font Rendering Issue in Word for macOS – B Nazanin Not Connecting Letters Properly
Hi everyone, I'm encountering a persistent issue with Persian font rendering in Microsoft Word for macOS. When using fonts from the B family—especially the widely used B Nazanin—letters do not connect properly. For example, in words like "خیابان" or "ایران", the characters appear disjointed, breaking the natural flow of Persian script. This issue affects all fonts in the B family, including B Nazanin, B Mitra, B Titr, and others. These fonts are extremely popular and commonly used in Persian-language documents, both professionally and academically. The problem seems specific to Word on macOS, as the same fonts render correctly in Apple’s Pages app, where letter connections are preserved. I’ve tried: Reinstalling and testing multiple versions of B fonts Adjusting language and region settings Enabling complex script support None of these resolved the issue. Request Can Microsoft investigate this rendering inconsistency in Word for macOS? Proper support for Persian script—especially for widely used fonts like the B family—is essential for users in Iran and Persian-speaking communities worldwide. Any help, workaround, or insight from the community or Microsoft team would be greatly appreciated. As shown in this image, the character "ن" is not rendered correctly. The word should appear as "خیابان وزرا" with proper letter connections to reflect accurate Persian script formatting.Powerpoint in Mac is missing some fonts
Hello Techies, I recently came across an issue that could be a small issue according to you, but I feel these are very crucial for some users. I am going to be frequently using PowerPoint, where I use a particular font, 'Abadi.' I would appreciate it if someone could help me with a fix regarding this.
[Mac] PowerPoint does not accept decimal numbers in format pane
Hi, I'm using PowerPoint for Mac version 16.78.3 (23102801) and I'm trying to define a new position for a shape using the formate shape functionality. Unfortunately, PowerPoint does not accept any decimal number. For example, if I change the current value to "7,5 cm" and hit enter, the number always changes to "0". It doesn't make a difference if I change the decimal separator to "." - that won't work as well. Is there a solution for this issue? Best, Laurids
