How to Set up OneDrive Sync on Macbook

    Install OneDrive for Mac.

    Important: If you are currently using the OneDrive Mac Store app, you must first uninstall it before installing the latest build of the sync app.

    If you're not signed in to OneDrive with any account, start OneDrive to connect to your ISS Account.

      Start OneDrive by opening Finder, or Launchpad to launch OneDrive. This starts OneDrive Setup.

      Enter your ISS Email & Password and then select Sign in to set up your account.

      On the Sync Files from Your OneDrive screen, you can choose the folders you want to sync to your computer, and click Next. This conserves space on your computer, and reduces bandwidth needed for the sync processes.
