How to Set Up OneDrive for Mac

If you're a student or employee at The University of Texas at Dallas, setting up OneDrive on your Mac is an essential step in accessing your cloud storage and syncing files between your devices. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

Once you've installed the OneDrive desktop app on your Mac, follow these steps:

1. Look for the OneDrive folder in your Finder, which will contain all your synced files. You'll see a cloud icon for every account you've connected to OneDrive.

2. Find the OneDrive icon in your Menu bar and click on it to open the menu. Select Preferences to access your account settings.

3. Enter your work or school account credentials and select Sign in to set up your account.

4. On the Sync Files from Your OneDrive screen, choose the folders you want to sync with your Mac and select Next.

5. Choose a location to save your OneDrive files and select Choose this location.

To ensure that OneDrive runs at login and keeps your files up-to-date, select Open at login in the Preferences menu.

Some helpful points to watch out for during setup:

* If you already have a personal account signed in to OneDrive, add a work or school account in OneDrive Preferences.

* Enter your work or school account credentials and select Sign in to set up your account.

* Start OneDrive by pressing cmd+Space to launch a Spotlight query and type OneDrive.

If you're currently using the OneDrive Mac Store app, make sure to uninstall it before installing the latest build of the OneDrive desktop app.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to access your OneDrive files and sync them across all your devices.
