Office 365 -- OneDrive Set-Up on Mac

We do recommend:

  • Using the Files On-Demand feature
  • Not saving your OneDrive folder to your Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Movies, Music, Public, Applications, or Library.
    • Try Macintosh HD > Users > your Drexel userid or Mac user folder.
  • Turning on the feature to back up your Desktop, Documents, and Downloads.


Here's how to install and set-up OneDrive on a Mac.

Important points to note:

  • You should login with your short (ex: abc123) Drexel email account and password when setting up OneDrive.
    • Select "Work or School Account" or "Company or School account," if prompted during set-up.
  • If you run into any issues during installation or set-up, contact ihelp@drexel.edu.
