Not Responding - Hanging Mac OSX.
*********** 06/01/16 Update ***********
It does not seem to work right anymore.
The updates now seem buggy.
There may be fewer file name flags but the may be causing errors for synching and we don’t know why.
The appliaction is not responding and hanging the system finder.
We are having to force quit onedrive using Apple’s “Activity Monitor” application.

I used to think this was OK but there are still so many issues.
We have seen this crash after may starts again without any error message.
You end up having to resync the entire file in a new location/name losing a day or two of producitivity.
Box Sync and Dropbox are looking as the better option these days.
Better still - set up your own Mac Mini server to share files accross devices.

Avoid the automated update onedrive would not reliably work.
I manually started it up over and over again and it would crash moments later.
Then after so many starts and crashes, the app no longer opens and runs.
I had to reboot my computer to get one drive to work properly.
Hopefully this will work better now after the reboot.
***** 05/14/2015 Update *****
It has gotten better but it still is not as good as the MicroSoft peer to peer file sharing service it replaced.
The invalid file name characters (e.g, space at beggining of file name, slash mark /, can drive one crazy.
I often download files that I save on ONEDRIVE that have invalid characters in them.
If you have one file name invalid, onedrive used to not sync at all.
Now it just does not sync the invalid files.
Unfortunately, the icon seems to no longer indicate that you have files that will not sync.
You have to look at pull down list of menu items to see if there are files that will not sync.
It is easy enough to fix but I did not realize from just glancing at the icon that there was a file with an invalid character in its name.
Accordingly, the user interface is not perfect.
I don’t beleive it has ever allowed one to share individual files with different persons like dropbox allows.
With all that said, MS storage rates are fairly reasonable with more real world values than others.
However, it is geting more competitive all the time.
