OneDrive for Mac setup

Body

You can install OneDrive for Mac either through the Mac OS App Store or through Microsoft's Sync files with OneDrive on Mac OS X support page.

Step One: Launch a Finder window and select “OneDrive” from the “Applications” folder.


Step Two: Sign in to OneDrive using your CWU email login. 


Step Three: Select “Work or School”


Step Four: Select which files and/or folders you would like to download to your Mac from your OneDrive. The files/folders with check marks will be downloaded.


Step Five: Your OneDrive folder and files will now be available in Finder under Favorites as “OneDrive – Central Washington University”. Add files by dragging and dropping or copy and pasting into the “OneDrive – Central Washington University” subfolders to upload and save them to OneDrive.


Step Six: To Manage locally saved data, click the OneDrive (clouds) Icon from the top right menu.

 

Select “More” and then “Preferences”

 

Click “Account” then “Choose Folders”

 

Uncheck folders/files that you do not want synched to your Mac. This will NOT delete files/folders from OneDrive. It will only remove them from your Mac to free up space on local hard drive. Reverse this process to add files/folders from OneDrive onto your Mac.
