I really hate that OneDrive for Business names your OneDrive folder like OneDrive - Name of Your Business with a bunch of spaces and things in there. It jacks up command line stuff because ~/OneDrive - Name of Your Business doesn’t always evaluate ~ as your home drive and it cascades from there.

Instead of doing the smart thing and just creating a symbolic link to something nicer (ln -s './OneDrive - Name of Your Business' ./OneDrive) I thought I’d try to get it to sync to a different location. I really jacked it up. Uninstall/reinstall, several reboots, no luck. I had trouble formulating the right search or AI prompt to explain what I was trying to fix. I finally got the below out of a series of queries and prompts through Google Gemini, so I’m blogging it in case I need it again.

1. Quit OneDrive: Select the cloud icon in the menu bar, then click Settings > Quit OneDrive.
2. Locate OneDrive: Find the app in your Applications folder.
3. Show Package Contents: Right-click on OneDrive and select “Show Package Contents”.
4. Navigate to Resources: Go to Contents > Resources.
5. Run the Reset Script: Double-click ResetOneDriveAppStandalone.command. A terminal window will pop up and clean a lot of things.
6. Restart and Setup: Start OneDrive and complete the setup process.
