Re: One Mac, multiple OneDrive accounts?
Thanks Leon! Your answer is the first time I've found someone who seems to know whether or not it is not officially supported. I would think this would be a fairly common thing, at least enough for the official MS 365 documentation to mention it. I'm a complete novice when it comes to Microsoft's ecosystems.14KViews1like1CommentOne Mac, multiple OneDrive accounts?
One Mac, multiple OneDrive Business Premium accounts? I'm hoping someone can give me a definitive answer to the following. My nonprofit organization has 10 licenses for Microsoft 365 Business Premium, generously donated by Microsoft. As a normal user of the software and the account's cloud storage, I can login to the service as gary(at)myorg... and sync my OneDrive files to my Mac. I'm also the unpaid IT guy (for the moment), but if I am replaced someday, I want to maintain continuity by just turning the account over to them. So I have a separate account itadmin(at)myorg... that I login to in order to access files that apply to IT activities. If I stick to the web interface, I can have two browser profiles (in Chrome, but it probably would work with Edge or Firefox as well), one logged in as gary, and the other profile logged in as itadmin, and edit the files, drag and drop them from my desktop, etc to the browser representing the logged in user. I was hoping to be able to do the same with OneDrive, but I get tons of errors after signing into the second account. I tried this perhaps a year ago, and finally give up. I was hoping the problem would have been fixed by now, but the errors seem more or less the same as then. So, the question is: should I be able to login to two separate MS 365 Business Premium accounts in a single OneDrive installation and have it sync both of the accounts (to different folders)? If I should be able to, then I might investigate further; otherwise, I'll just continue using the browser interface.

I do the bulk of my work on the desktop (usually a Mac, sometimes a Windows 10 or 11 machine) and keep most important documents in my OneDrive folder. Part of the reason for using OneDrive is to easily keep its contents available when I switch from one computer to another. On my main computers, I have OneDrive and the Office apps installed and use them extensively. However, I tend to frequently jot down quick notes to myself using whatever text editor makes sense for the platform (vim, TextEdit on Mac, NotePad on Windows). That works fine on the computers where I have OneDrive installed, but I sometimes use other computers and want to use the web interface entirely to create and edit unformatted text files. This works great for Office files, but I find the built-in text editor pretty rudimentary. Is there a substitute available for use with the web interface?1.3KViews0likes1Comment
