Hi,

Thank you for querying in this forum.

I go through the post carefully. It seems like you tried to install OneDrive per machine but you found OneDrive is not installed in Program Files (x86). I understand you want to install OneDrive per machine on Windows server.

According to the article you mentioned, all Windows versions are supported for this feature. Honestly, currently I don't have Windows Server on my side, so I did a quick test in Windows 10 computer. It seems like it works, as I can find the installed Microsoft OneDrive under the "Program Files" directory.

May I know how did you install OneDrive app per machine? May I know whether you use steps below?

1.Firstly get OneDrive app package from this official article OneDrive release notes

under Windows tab, click "Download OneDrive for Windows". When it prompts, DO NOT click Run, please click Save>Save as, save the OneDriveSetup.exe file to the Download folder on the computer.

2.Then open Command Prompt. Firstly navigate to the downloaded OneDrive app package file by entering the command cd C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads press Enter,

then enter the command OneDriveSetup.exe /allusers press Enter,

Here is a screenshot for reference:

If above is not your steps, you may try to go to uninstall the existing OneDrive app from your computer, then follow steps mentioned above, test and check the outcome.
