Dear Support Team

As a result of the recent OneDrive update 23061.0319 (installed on my Mac on the 1st of Apr 2023) OneDrive app won't sync or open on my MacBook Pro (Catalina v10.15.7).

Despite following the steps as (as published in Microsoft Support Centre and also Microsoft Community) OneDrive won't open or function at all.

My feeling is that the new update creates an issue with the Catalina Operating system which unable it to open/function/sync..

Therefore, OneDrive is not working appropriately.

In order to resolve the matter I have followed the below steps and no luck:

Would be highly appreciated if you provide some guidance on the matter.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

DR

    Hi Sergey, many thanks. Good to know I'm not alone. Unfortunately the pain of having to download docs from the web to my desktop every time I need to send something goes on☹️ This is what I got from "Support" today.

    Dear , Thank you for your email.I had shared the action plan earlier hoping it will help. However, it appears that there will be a need to wait for the next OneDrive update to resolve the issue.Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to your response.Best Regards,

    OneDrive somehow manages to push the update on my computer (Catalina) bypassing the network filter (Little Snitch). If you are not fast enough to kill the updater and updater-daemon processes you will get the latest version right away after the installation. FIY I am getting 23.071 after the update but it also does not work.

    Now trying to lock both the updater and standalone updater with the method in this thread.

    Hello Dirk and all else,

    I have tried everything including deleting everything in the Library folders regarding anything Microsoft and re-installing office from my Microsoft_Office_16.65.22091101_Installer and you are correct. It seems Onedrive updates itself and doesn't ever open. No cloud icon across the top window bar - just nothing.

    THIS PROBLEM IS CRITICAL! Hopefully someone will solve it. I don't like the idea of trashing a perfectly good MAC because someone decided to change a piece of code.

    No, both M1s are running Ventura and OneDrive is fine, its my other two Catalina machines that have stopped. Unfortunately my only portable daily driver is a Catalina machine, the M1s are MacMini. So I am using Sync Software to copy the OneDrive folders from a Ventura machine over to the Catalina machine via p2p. Takes longer to get it back and forth to OneDrive, and I don't get any choice of what I want and don't want, unless I change it on the MacMini, but it is working for me right now.
