Accessing All Sharepoint Folders on Mac OS X

Question

Hi folks

I have read a large number of questions relating to accessing Sharepoint on a Mac and I cant find an answer to this specific issue,.

I have Office 365 for work and I just purchased a Mac.

On my PC, I have sharepoint folders, lets says comms site 1, comms site 2 and then my own folders in Onedrive.

When I set up OneDrive on my mac, I dont get access to the Sahrepoint folders, only Onedrive.

I have run the reset command and it re-synched with the same issues.

Help would be very much appreciated and please dont tell me to ditch the Mac!!!

Dear  Andrew,  

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Community.

 I understand the concern you have regarding how you can access all SharePoint folders on Mac OS X.

 On your PC, you have SharePoint folders and then your folders in OneDrive, but when you set up OneDrive on your mac, you don't get access to the SharePoint folders. 

May I know if you have tried syncing your SharePoint library on your mac? Please try the steps below, and see if this helps you sync the SharePoint library:

• Open a browser and go to Office 365 portal and sign in with your work or school account.
• Click the app launcher, and then click SharePoint.
• Click the site you want to sync and click Documents or navigate to the subfolder you want to sync.
• Click Sync
• If your browser requests permission to use "Microsoft OneDrive," confirm that this is okay. If the issue persists, we understand the frustration and apologize for it. However, would you kindly provide us with the following information to proceed?

1. May I know the version of the OneDrive sync app on your mac?OneDrive on a Mac, Click the OneDrive icon from the menu bar and Select Help & Settings > Preferences. Select About, and under About Microsoft OneDrive
2. Could you please tell us the steps you used to sync the SharePoint library/folder?
3. May I know if you are getting any errors? If so, could you provide a screenshot of the error message?

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
