Does anyone have a solution for OneDrive on High Sierra? I finally managed to find an installer for an older 21.x version which was supposed to be the last series supported on 10.13, but when I get to logging in to my account the client downloads the latest 24.x version which is not compatible.

I was using Dropbox which has 10.13 as their minimum version (for now) but as I have an Office 365 subscription, I thought it was silly to pay for both. I have successfully gotten the Linux package maintained by abraunegg working on a Linux Mint machine, so maybe there's a way to get that going in macOS? I am still learning Linux apps beyond what's available in the distro's pacakage manager, but it sounds like this could be a good candidate for inclusion in MacPorts.

Don’t know whether that works for your situation, but I find it easier to use the web browser instead of local application. Seems to be easiest solution?
 
Brutal that Microsoft supports Windows 10 and Apple can't support High Sierra even though W10 is older

Cloudmounter works fine on High Sierra. And besides Drive, you have all the other clouds

This is because of Apple's - totally unnecessary, IMO - practice of releasing a new OS every year, then only supporting the latest three. It would make more sense if they updated each OS over two years (even with major upgrades, like they did with security in OS X 10.2, and the App Store in 10.6), then they could support Mac OS going back 6 years instead of 3.

But yes, using a web browser has ALWAYS been how I use OneDrive.
