How can I mount Microsoft OneDrive as a network drive in OSX?

I have a 50GB OneDrive account which is basically full.

I'd like to store/access stuff directly on/from my OneDrive by mounting as a network share, rather than syncing with my Mac, and therefore using up 50GB of Mac HDD space.

This is possible on Windows, and I can confirm this works on my OneDrive account.

On Mac, I try the equivalent, e.g.:

This correctly asks for credentials:

But then fails:

Any ideas?

Solution 1:

You cannot mount a remote "drive" to OneDrive as the synchronization/authentication protocol is not implemented within the OS X file system. (It is in Windows, which is why can you do it).

However, I have a client who accomplished this with an App: CloudMounter. It worked really well and was priced pretty fairly ($30).

I personally don't have a need for this software so I don't use it (I am also not affiliated with this company in any way). However, I can tell you that it has worked very well for my client and he has no issues with it.

Solution 2:

I think your not the only one with this problem, actually I think it isn't supported by Microsoft, personally I use ExpanDrive, an app focused on creating virtual drives for cloud services.

Hope this helps,
