In today’s digital workplace, the amount of content produced is growing exponentially, and working relationships change by the day. To maintain productivity in this environment, it’s essential that people can easily access and collaborate on team files in and outside their organizations from anywhere, on any device.
Today, we are excited to announce availability of several new capabilities in OneDrive for Business that make it easier than ever to sync, share and collaborate on all your files in Office 365.
Here’s a look at what’s new:
Sync all your files anywhere, anytime across PC and Mac
Organizations have been using the latest OneDrive client to reliably sync their OneDrive files to their PCs and Macs since its debut over a year ago. However, much of the team content they are collaborating on exists in SharePoint Online team sites and OneDrive folders shared by others.
I have tested on Mac Mojave 10.14.6, use OneDrive sync client 19.152.0801 to sync OneDrive for business files. There isn't any issue no matter I sign in OneDrive sync client or try syncing files from OneDrive on the web. I also try the 2-step verification to get Text before signing in OneDrive. Jan 28, 2015 Today we released the public preview of our OneDrive for Business sync client for Mac, which provides a simple and secure way to manage and sync your files through the familiar Finder experience. You can download the iOS app from the app store, and the Mac sync client preview from the Microsoft Download Center. OneDrive for Business is part of Office 365 and offers the ability to store files in the cloud, access them from multiple computers, and share them with others. Accessing OneDrive for Business using a Mac can accessed on a college owned device by downloading and installing the client at.
Today, we are enhancing OneDrive with the ability to sync SharePoint Online team sites—including files used inside Microsoft Teams, Office 365 Groups and OneDrive folders—shared by others across PC and Mac platforms. Now you can work with all your Office 365 files just as you would files stored on your PC or Mac—even when you are offline.
If you are using our preview, the sync client will automatically update with these new capabilities including the new activity center. If you aren’t running the latest OneDrive sync client, or aren’t sure, read “Get started with the new OneDrive sync client in Windows” to learn more.

Update One Drive Windows 10Empowering administrators to manage with confidence
To help IT admins better manage sync and sharing capabilities, we are rolling out the new OneDrive admin center. The admin center controls how and from where a user will access the files in OneDrive—that is device, location and app.

OneDrive for Business customer momentum
Office 365 continues strong growth with over 85 million commercial monthly active users. Many of these customers are moving to OneDrive for Business from on-premises file shares and other cloud-based solutions to empower their employees to intelligently discover, share and collaborate on files.
Here’s what a some of our customers had to say:
Doug Lind, director of Windows Infrastructure, Telecom and End User Services at Polycom:
“We wanted to enable colleagues who aren’t in the same physical location to work closely together in a safe, controlled manner, so we brought in OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online. We’re replacing a number of unsanctioned cloud-based file-sharing services and on-premises file shares with personal OneDrive for Business repositories where permissions and access are more visible.” —Read the full case study.
Tony Taylor, senior director of Infrastructure and Security at Land O’Lakes:
“Moving to OneDrive for Business gave us a more secure, managed place for document storage. We’re able to create policies to protect our data now that we have one standard solution that’s accessible to everyone.” —Read the full case study.
