Microsoft OneDrive Gains Native Support for Apple Silicon Macs

The latest stable DropBox update is available for Apple Silicon, too.
Looking at how OneDrive, Google Drive, & DropBox are setup, both OneDrive & Google Drive set the Folder location to an actual mounted drive:
/Volumes/OneDrive
/Volumes/GoogleDrive
But DropBox still sets the folder to the '/Users/User/DropBox' folder.
Also, it looks like all 3 of these apps can be listed in the Finder's Favorites section. Google Drive & OneDrive were only showing up in 'Location' at the bottom with my other drives. At some point that must have been changed in an update because I wasn't able to drag them up to Favorites. Now everything seems to be behaving 'normally' again.

Do you think we need to delete and reinstall it? Weird that the version is still Intel only.
Shouldn’t have to. Any other apps that were Intel apps and have been subsequently updated to AS, didn’t require an uninstall/reinstall
Same for me - I though the App Store versions of MS Office stuff were supposed to be the same ...
This update must have been pulled. I still haven't received it, some have, and the ones who have are reporting it's not AS-native.
Glad to know I'm not the only one still having the Intel version after updating. I don't even dare to resync everything 1st even though there is the option to make all folders available.
Still no app update. Would be nice if Microsoft would provide more details. MacRumors also needs to update their original article about this version being AS-native. @arn
Every time there is an update in the App Store i get excited for nothing..
I came here just to say that. What the hell is wrong with Microsoft? I don't want to use their s*** launcher and updater, just put it on the App Store already.
I know many won't like it but I can't wait of the day Apple stops x86 Rosetta as that forces every developers hand.
I reached out to Microsoft

We are glad to have rolled out the native support for the M1 chips and proud to have loyal customers, like yourself, looking forward to using it.
As with all deployments, this is being rolled out in phases and currently is on the "Rolling out" phase with updates being released in waves. As new features become available, they're rolled out over a period of time to all subscribers. This means not all customers will receive the new features right away, but you can expect it to come to your device soon.
You may find more info and confirm when these features are fully launched, and available to everyone when this release enters the "Launched" phase on the M365 Roadmap. Please see the link below;

My new 16" M1 Max MBP arrived and I'm trying to set it up with all native mac apps first. I noticed that even if you download OneDrive from the Mac App Store or direct from microsoft it is requiring Rosetta2 to run. Not sure what I'm missing here as so far nothing else has required it.
Is part of OneDrive still Intel?

Microsoft said that the M1 version is rolling out gradually, and for some reason, the version on the Mac App Store is still Intel only for now. They will probably update it with the M1 version soon. If you download it directly from the Microsoft website, you'll get the M1 native version.
I downloaded it from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/download and it still required Rosetta2. Is there a differnt link for the M1 version of OneDrive?
Thank you in advance for your help.

This link worked for me. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2188758 Thank you for your help got to love Microsoft making it complicated to get the M1 native verison of OneDrive. Now just need Teams and Adobe Crative Cloud (Photoshop and Lightroom Classic are M1 I know but seems Creative Cloud app isn't) and I will have most of my everday workflow native M1 ARM which would be fantastic.
