How to Sync Mac Desktop, Document with OneDrive OR OneDrive Business.

Like most of you reading this article, you are probably using OneDrive as your cloud document storage but can’t force the desktop, document or other folders on your MAC to sync with it. This short tutorial will show you how to do that. Before going any further I would like to credit Chris Hoffman @ How to Geek for his article on how to use Symbolic Links. After reading his article we use the same method to force Mac personal folders to sync with OneDrive or OneDrive Business. Please read his article to better understand Symbolic Links.

Prerequisite:

  • Terminal application
  • Source: Have the folder patch you want to sync with OneDrive ready or written notes
  • Destination: Have the folder patch you want to store your local folders in OneDrive ready or written notes
  • 5-10 minutes of your time.

Open Terminal application:

Press Command + Space, type “Terminal”, and then press “Enter” to open Terminal from Spotlight search.
Or
From the top right search icon type “Terminal” and then press “Enter” to open Terminal
Or
In Finder go to “Applications / Utilities / Terminal to launch it

Type the following commend in the Terminal:

ln -s /Users/username/Desktop /Users/username/”OneDrive – Company”/MBP

Whereas “username” is your account name. Note there is a space between the first (source) and second (Destination) patch name. Notice also the bracket in “OneDrive – Company”, this is because OneDrive for Business may have your company name with spaces. If you type the path without the brackets, it won’t find it. So, add brackets if you have spaces in your path name.

Another example with picture below.

Once your Symbolic link is created, OneDrive will see the files/folders and start uploading the content. You simply have to continue working on your desktop, documents or any other folder and Onedrive will pick the files/folders and sync them

Hot on the heels of an initial public beta released last week, Alessandro Levi Montalcini has announced the release of USB Overdrive beta 2 for Mac OS X.

USB Overdrive is a universal USB driver. The software recognizes input from USB devices like mice, trackballs, joysticks and gamepads. Support in this beta version is limited to mice and trackballs only, but the rest are coming soon. With USB Overdrive, you can program your input devices to emulate the keyboard, execute complex macros, support control-clicking, scrolling and more.

The developer advised that the final version of USB Overdrive X will be distributed as shareware; users who registered the original version after Mac OS X’s release will be entitled to a free upgrade, and users who registered before then will be entitled to a reduced-cost upgrade.

Changes in USB Overdrive beta 2 include:

  • Added separate Speed and Acceleration settings for greater control over the mouse speed.
  • Restored the functionality of the Enabled check box. When the Enable option is unchecked for a given application or for the Global Settings, the Overdrive behaves exactly like the standard Mac OS X mouse driver, including both the mouse speed and the buttons/wheel behavior.
  • Added Middle Click, Fourth Click and Fifth Click to the list of actions that can be performed. This is useful for applications that handle the extra buttons on their own. For such applications, you can either uncheck the Enabled option, or assign Middle Click to the middle button to have the middle button behave as expected.
  • Restored the ability to press modifier keys alone (without typing a keystroke or clicking a button) by checking one of the modifier keys when Do Nothing is selected. This is useful in applications like Timbuktu, where a modifier key alone is used to invoke a command.
  • Fixed a problem where the USBOverdriveHelper was not added to the Login Items, so that the USB Overdrive X application had to be launched manually after every login to enable to Overdrive. This caused many people to report that the Overdrive had no effect whatsoever on their system.
  • Fixed a problem with the Microsoft Wireless Explorer that caused the mouse buttons to be randomly released every 30 seconds or so.

    USB Overdrive is distributed as shareware. Registration costs US$20.
