How to install onedrive App on Mac OS 12.7.6

On macOS 12.7.6 (Monterey), OneDrive can still be installed and used even if the Mac App Store listing appears unavailable by using the standalone OneDrive sync app from Microsoft.

Use these steps:

1. Download the current OneDrive sync app for Mac directly from Microsoft using the installer link in the OneDrive setup article: Install OneDrive for Mac.
2. If the Mac App Store version of OneDrive is installed, uninstall it first. The standalone sync app is required for full functionality and to avoid conflicts.
3. Open the downloaded .pkg file and complete the installation.
4. Start OneDrive Setup:
   • Use Spotlight to search for OneDrive and open it.
   • When Setup starts, enter the Microsoft account or work/school account and select Sign in.
5. After setup, the OneDrive cloud icon appears in the top menu bar. If it does not appear, verify that OneDrive is running from the Applications folder.

If the icon still does not show or OneDrive does not appear to run correctly on Monterey:

1. Go to Applications > OneDrive.
2. Right‑click OneDrive > Show Package Contents.
3. Open Contents > Resources.
4. Double‑click ResetOneDriveApp.command (or ResetOneDriveAppStandalone.command if using the standalone app).
5. Start OneDrive again from Applications and complete setup.

This installs and runs OneDrive on macOS 12.7.6 without relying on the Mac App Store listing.
