How to sync OneDrive to your Mac computer and easily access your files anywhere

• You can sync OneDrive to your Mac computer, making files easily accessible through Microsoft's cloud storage.
• The OneDrive app for Mac is available in the Apple App Store.
• Once downloaded, you can begin syncing files to OneDrive on your Mac, for access anywhere.

OneDrive, a cloud-hosting feature furnished by Microsoft, is also accessible to Apple's Mac users.

If you're running an Apple device with macOS 10.12 or later, you can install the OneDrive app for Mac. Downloading the app copies OneDrive onto your Mac, which you can open via a newly created OneDrive folder.

Crucially, the OneDrive folder stays synced — no matter which device you use to make modifications to files — allowing your Mac to always have up-to-date access to your OneDrive files.
