Microsoft abandons the OneDrive sync support for older versions of macOS

Microsoft has announced that they will deprecate the OneDrive client sync program on older versions of macOS. In other words, the old version of macOS will no longer support the OneDrive client, and the unsupported version will not be installed.

 

News on August 8 Microsoft has announced that they will abandon the OneDrive client sync program on the old version of macOS. In other words, the old version of macOS will no longer support the OneDrive client, and the unsupported version cannot be installed.

The list given by Microsoft includes macOS Sierra 10.12 (2016) and macOS High Sierra 10.13 (2017). After all, Apple no longer supports these versions of macOS.

Microsoft said that abandoning support for the old version of macOS will allow them to focus their resources on new technologies and new systems. Microsoft also emphasized: Microsoft will only support the latest three versions of macOS. When a new version of macOS is released, Microsoft will support the new version and the first two versions.

Starting in September 2021, users will not be able to install existing OneDrive clients on unsupported operating systems and will stop updating.

Although these clients can continue to be used, Microsoft will no longer test and maintain their functions, and will no longer investigate or fix bugs found on these unsupported operating systems.

Microsoft recommends that affected macOS users upgrade their systems to macOS Mojave 10.14 and later, or preferably macOS Big Sur 11.0 or later.
