i can't find one drive in my finder

Hi,

I've tried installing and uninstalling and reinstalling OneDrive on my Mac Mini, but when I use the Finder to try to see it, it only shows up under Applications. Or, I can install it as a subfolder under Documents. However, I can't get it to show up under Favourites in the same way that I can do with DropBox (i.e., as a stand alone choice, the way that Desktop is or Documents is). This is contrary to what the app promises on the Apple App Store.

Any suggestions?

I ran into the same issue and here's how I fixed it.

1. Went to the Finder -> Preferences and changed the "New Finder windows show:" setting from "All My Files" to my Home folder which is my Mac OS Login name.

2. Then opened a Finder window and OneDrive is listed there along with my other folders like Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Dropbox etc. If you selected the default location for the OneDrive folder during installation, this is where it should show up.

3. Then I just selected the OneDrive folder and dragged it under Favorites on the left pane of the Finder window.

4. You should now be able to open any new Finder window and see OneDrive in there. You can also drag it down to wherever in that list of favorites you want it under.

Good luck and hope this works for you.
