I'm trying to set up a plist that will have defaults settings for the new released 1/27/17. This new client enables users to also to their Macs just like the Windows client. So, following the instructions in the article ',' I've made the following plist. However, I'm not sure if I set the DefaultFolder path string correctly. After looking at other plists in my /Library/Preferences folder that point to specific file paths, I think I have the right syntax. I want to turn this plist into a custom Configuration Profile to deploy to all my clients once I can test that it works.
If anyone has experience with setting a default file path in a plist, and can check my work, that would be great. ![Onedrive Onedrive](/uploads/1/2/5/5/125505424/107980594.png)
I use two user accounts on my Mac, one for work and other personal. Currently, if I put the onedrive folder in shared user folder, I can only access and have read&write permissions from one user account. By default, when you turn on the sync client for OneDrive for Business it will only sync the folders in your OneDrive to your computer. However, you can also sync folders that other people have shared with you which gives you offline access to these files in addition to yours.
I'm going to try /OneDrive - Company Name as the DefaultFolder string for my test, and if it works, then I can use it for my deployments. Microsoft's documentation for this stinks; would it be so hard for them to provide actual example code that is usable (i.e. 'OneDrive - Contoso', and an actual dummy tenant guid)? I've complained to our TAM several times, and it is better than it was, but not 100%yet. There is a fairly active OneDrive channel on the MacAdmins Slack, going to try direct feedback there, as the Product Manager (i think) hangs out there regularly. Really great asset if anyone hasn't tried it yet, and no cost. I'm also working on making OneDrive redirection work on Mac, by symlinking the Desktop and Documents directories to a Backup directory inside the user's OneDrive.
I'm hoping to get it to the point i can merge Windows and Mac onto one, so changing platforms is as easy as logging in to OneDrive and waiting for your stuff to come down! Yeah, their documentation does not give good examples. However, based on 's reply, I think I got a working plist that I just turned into a Config Profile.

Actually, I made two Config Profiles: one for the App Store edition (which we're currently using), and one for the stand-alone edition that I want to start testing. If my tests are successful with both Configs, I'll make sure to post a little script here for folks to grab. I was just reading the OneDrive redirect article for Windows.
This could be very useful for Macs too, but it would require a bit of work. All the comments above seem related to mounting the personal drive. What about mounting Sharepoint drives in OneDrive? I can see that /Library/Containers/com.microsoft.OneDrive-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/OneDrive/settings/Business1 has a bunch of.ini files that seem to define this. I haven't messed with those yet. These.plist files seem to also contain the info, but they get over-written by the app with what it thinks the correct state is: /Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.OfficeOneDriveSyncIntegration/Library/Preferences/UBF8T346G9.OfficeOneDriveSyncIntegration.plist /Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.OneDriveSyncClientSuite/Library/Preferences/UBF8T346G9.OneDriveSyncClientSuite.plist.
