Onedrive Mac Review Why I Can't Share From The App Rating: 9,8/10 7665 reviews

Morphing software for mac. Apple has released a new version of iCloud for Windows 10 in the Microsoft Store, according to a recent blog post by Microsoft and a handful of Apple customer support documents. The new version claims to be a major improvement, with more robust features and more reliable syncing—the latter of those has been a common complaint for users of Apple's previous version.

  1. May 10, 2020  The OneDrive app doesn’t support a case-sensative formated drive. And, looking at Microsoft support pages, the team doesn’t intend to add this support. Well, I’m not inclined to reformat my case-sensative drive. 'Your OneDrive folder can't be created in the location you selected. Try a different location.
  2. Jan 19, 2018  Unlink OneDrive by click OneDrive icon, choose Preferences, then About, click Unlink. Remove the app by following these steps: Open the Applications folder. Drag the blue OneDrive cloud to the trash. Enter your MAC credentials. Remove the additional OneDrive files. Press Apple (COMMAND) + SHIFT+ G in finder, or use Terminal.
  3. Why can't I share a file on Canvas with another app on my Android device? To share a file on Canvas with another app on your Android device, press and hold the tile in Canvas to select the file. With the file selected, click the Share icon in the upper-right corner and select an app from the menu.

Interestingly, Microsoft says the new iCloud app is 'powered by the same Windows technology that also powers OneDrive's Files On-Demand feature'—an unexpected technical and corporate partnership.

Features listed by Microsoft include:

  • Access your iCloud Drive files directly from File Explorer without using up space on your PC
  • Choose the files and folders you want to keep on your PC
  • Safely store all your files in iCloud Drive and access them from your iOS device, Mac, and on iCloud.com
  • Share any file right from File Explorer and easily collaborate with others—edits will be synced across your devices
Interestingly, Microsoft says the new iCloud app is 'powered by the same Windows technology that also powers OneDrive's Files On-Demand feature'—an unexpected technical and corporate partnership. But it shouldn't be too surprising at this point; despite the storied history and rivalries of the 1980s and '90s (as well as competition in areas like, yes, cloud services), Microsoft and Apple have largely played together nicely in recent years.

Apple's iCloud is a full-featured service for storing files and photos, syncing contacts, and other things, as long as you're working solo and not looking to collaborate. (Dropbox, Google Drive, and other competitors offer much more robust features for teams by far.) But iCloud flies under the radar for a lot of people. Its cross-platform support has been mediocre, which doesn't help, so this new version is a welcome update for users who are dependent on the service, provided it actually addresses users' complaints.

Apple has set up a support page explaining what iCloud for Windows can do and what the requirements are for using it. Basically, you just need to set up iCloud on an Apple device first (an iOS device with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later). Once you've done that, it's straightforward.
