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!

    I am about to try installing this version, but I am a bit lost.

    Will this process remove my current files in my OneDrive folder?

    What happens with the files that have not been syncronized yet?

    My OneDrive stopped working 17 days ago I just noticed :(

    Thank you!

    Question: Will this process remove my current files in my OneDrive folder?

    Answer: No. OneDrive is not known to delete personal files. Whatever personal files on your computer that have not been deleted online or in another computer that syncs with OneDrive will stay there after updating OneDrive. (That has been my experience. Your experience may vary.)

    Question: What happens with the files that have not been synchronized yet?

    Answer: If the new OneDrive version works, it starts synchronizing. All files on your computer not previously synchronized get synchronized (uploaded to your online OneDrive location). All files online not previously synchronized with your computer will then show up on your local folder (they may show up with a blue-bordered cloud icon or a round icon with a tick, depending on your settings). If you have another computer that continued to sync with OneDrive, all additions and deletions there will work their way to your Mac.

    The latest "insider preview" versions of OneDrive for MacOS (starting with 23.081 and later, including 23.086) reportedly work with MacOS Catalina (10.15.x).

    23.081 is available here: : https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Mac/Installers/23.081.0416.0001/universal/OneDrive.pkg 

    23.086 is available here:

    https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Mac/Installers/23.086.0423.0001/universal/OneDrive.pkg

    Alternate download location here: All OneDrive Versions – Hans Brender's Blog

    If you implemented fixes that preserved the previously working OneDrive versions (e.g. 23.002 or 23.054) by preventing MS from updating those to non-working versions, you may need to reverse those fixes first before installing the latest insider preview versions that now work with Catalina.

    I can confirm that 23.081 works with MacOS Catalina (10.15.x).

    For more details, you can also visit and review this thread: My Fix for OneDrive on MacOs Catalina (10.15.x) - Microsoft Community

    Good luck!
