OneDrive issue - have to open files twice to open them!

[martin2345uk]

Can anyone help with this frustrating issue?

I have files in OneDrive on my Air.. some are downloaded to the machine some are in the cloud. When I double click on one in the cloud, nothing happens, then I have to double click again to open it in the correct program, eg Excel.

I believe it is because of this:

I change that to tell it to open with Excel, and click "Change all" but it doesn't change all - I have to then do it one by one for every other Excel file!

Anyone got any experience of this outside "OneDrive sucks"?

Thank you!

Actually, I switched from Apple's iCloud Drive service to OneDrive some years ago because I had major syncing issues with iCloud. My experience with OneDrive has been great. Occassionaly, I might get a file that hangs up while syncing and I have to sign out and back in, but that's it.

As for the issue you described, that's not happening for me. I just tried double-clicking a .csv file that was online-only (not downloaded to my local machine), and it immediately downloaded the file and opened it in Excel. Before I double-clicked it, I checked its info and it said "Open with: OneDrive File Launcher.app" just like yours said. After downloading, the info said "Open with: Microsoft Excel.app" so that all appears normal.
