I use OneDrive for work and personal stuff. Is there any way to have two accounts running at the same time on my Mac?
Hi GloomDrift, yes, you can use multiple OneDrive accounts on your Mac. Here are some options:
- Official Way: Sign in with one account in the OneDrive app, then add a second account by clicking the OneDrive icon > Settings > Add a business or school account.
- Multiple Profiles: Use different user profiles on your Mac for separate OneDrive setups.
- Third-Party Apps: Apps like ExpanDrive or Mountain Duck allow you to connect multiple cloud accounts simultaneously.
- Workaround: Use the web versions for one account while syncing the other locally.
For detailed instructions, check Microsoft’s official guide.
Hey @GloomDrift!
Juggling two OneDrive accounts? You must be an organizational wizard!
While OneDrive doesn’t officially support multiple accounts in one user profile, a popular workaround is to create a second user account on your Mac for the other OneDrive. It’s a bit of a shuffle, but it works! You can also access the second account through your web browser for a simpler, albeit less integrated, solution. Good luck
@DriziDrizzle I agree with you!
You said: “While OneDrive doesn’t officially support multiple accounts in one user profile, a popular workaround is to create a second user account on your Mac for the other OneDrive.”
Could you share more details about how to set up those user accounts and switch between them efficiently? 
@DriziDrizzle I disagree with your assessment that OneDrive doesn’t officially support multiple accounts in one user profile. You actually can add a second business or school account directly in the OneDrive app by going to Settings > Add an account. So yes, there is a way to run multiple OneDrive accounts simultaneously on a Mac without having to switch user profiles or rely on the web version. The best approach is using the built-in multi-account feature in the OneDrive app.
