I would like change the location of the Onedrive folder to a USB drive. I have a limited amount of SSD drive space. I want to put Onedrive on a USB 3.0 micro drive always plugged into my laptop.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Onedrive
Just copy the folder where you want it. Delete it from your startup volume. You will need to re-configure OneDrive so it knows where the folder is located. If you don't know what to do, then ask the developers or read their documentation.
To move the folder you have to delete the account from the Mac and then resetup OneDrive with the new location.
