What OneDrive is

OneDrive is a utility for macOS: cloud storage client.

It is distributed as a Homebrew cask, which installs a .app bundle into your Applications folder. Homebrew only automates the download and install step; the licence terms come from the vendor.

How to install OneDrive

  1. Open Terminal (press ⌘ + Space and type “Terminal”).
  2. If Homebrew is not installed yet, run the installer below once.
  3. Run brew install --cask onedrive.

Prefer a graphical installer? Download it from the official site. MacPicks never hosts or mirrors binaries — the Homebrew command always pulls from the vendor's own release.
