Huzzah!! Same here!
UGH!!!! Now I'm back in the "This app was already linked to an account" and needs me to use the Microsoft version to unlink my account, so that I can then go back to the MAS version... What a mess.

UGH!!!! Now I'm back in the "This app was already linked to an account" and needs me to use the Microsoft version to unlink my account, so that I can then go back to the MAS version... What a mess.
I quit OneDrive (installed directly from Microsoft) and then installed OneDrive from the Mac App Store.
When I went to open it, I received the following message:
This has happened to a few of us here in these 9 pages so far.. You have to reinstall Microsoft's version, install that, sign out, uninstall, then install from the Mac App Store.
Understood, makes sense that it would given that it would try to create a folder on top of the already folder.
Funny then that it DOESN'T throw back that error when I go to reinstall OneDrive from Microsoft and still point to the same folder during setup.
MS can be funny sometimes when it comes to their own product: spiderman_point_meme.jpg
I'm not even going to bother going back to the MAS version, really don't see any benefit
I think the only benefit would be relying on one application to do the updating as opposed to two (MAS & Microsoft Auto Update).
It's not only one updater... Onedrive does update via it's own updater & via MAU (Microsoft Auto Update), if you go all In via Microsoft CDN and .pkg installer you do have a lot of solo launch daemons/agents.
MAS is much better, because it's only 'one' Updater (the already active Apple System Updater) running.
