Getting Microsoft OneDrive to Work with Finder on Mac OS | Preview files in Finder without download

In this video we provide a guide on integrating OneDrive with Finder on Mac OS. Mac users often work in Microsoft-heavy environments, necessitating the use of OneDrive or SharePoint for cloud storage. Despite potential concerns, integrating OneDrive with Finder is straightforward. Download OneDrive from the App Store, install it, and follow the steps to add an account and select folders for syncing with Finder. If Finder integration issues arise, users can enable Finder extensions via System Settings / Privacy and Security / Extensions. OneDrive files in Finder will show icons indicating whether they are stored locally or in the cloud. Users can preview files without downloading them fully and free up space by sending files back to the cloud. Use favorites in Finder to quickly access frequently used folders. Microsoft 365 announced at a recent conference that there will be some upcoming enhancements for Mac users, including reduced battery and CPU usage, faster boot performance, and a 33% reduction in memory footprint. These improvements should make OneDrive integration more efficient over the next few months. ➡️ Resources for You: Our Website - https://echoprojectmanagement.com/ Meet with Us - https://www.echoprojectmanagement.com/schedule-meeting Our LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/echo-consulting-pm/ Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/EchoConsulting?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Recommended Playlists: Microsoft 365 Tutorials & Tips → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meWGjWvNc3Q&list=PLO3D1ido-Qg7i3llBtnGkWI_rOF1x-r3V Smartsheet Tutorials & Tips → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQazpDmRWis&list=PLO3D1ido-Qg6eBqKtnAtWk3iJS_-mpyiX Monday.com Tutorials & Tips → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO3D1ido-Qg4aMalxkqUNRML-iB387tqu Asana Tutorials & Tips → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO3D1ido-Qg783975SGf7SIW0AtH6VASs ClickUp Tutorials & Tips → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rCwzCVSP7I&list=PLO3D1ido-Qg6X1Mv27JAgxCm17xxbauvM Project Management → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozVgrvT9BlU&list=PLO3D1ido-Qg7P_Cxs2CAIm6dW55LNPpKf Webinars → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2LH1Gytj5g&list=PLO3D1ido-Qg4Evvvww8gtUgVgc05f2Qup 0:00 Introduction 1:39 Setting Up OneDrive 3:25 Conclusion
