Users can manage and sync files through the Mac Finder experience, according to Microsoft's blog post. The OneDrive for Business client for Mac allows users to access and take their OneDrive for Business files offline. The two services have little in common at present other than the OneDrive name.Microsoft officials said earlier this month that a new unified sync engine (known internally as 'OneSync') will enable the ability to sync shared folders, like Dropbox does, and to selectively sync across all platforms.
Microsoft is in the midst of unifying its OneDrive consumer and OneDrive for Business sync engines. Microsoft execs had said last year to expect OneDrive for Business for Mac before the end of calendar 2014, but it never materialized. Microsoft made available the first public preview of OneDrive for Business for Mac on January 28. Mac users finally can test OneDrive for Business, Microsoft's storage and synchronization cloud service.
