OneDrive App Setup for Unsupported Operating Systems

On newer versions of Windows and macOS, OneDrive uses Files on Demand to automatically manage your hard drive so you don't run out of disk space. To use this feature, your computer must be running:

• Windows 10 version 1709 or later
• macOS Mojave or later

If you are using an older version of Windows or macOS, try updating your operating system before setting up the Outlook app, so you can take advantage of Files On Demand. If you are using a university-owned computer, you can also reach out to your school, college or departmental support staff for assistance by submitting a TUhelp request .

If you are unable to update your computer, you may have to exclude some files from syncing to prevent your local disk space from running out. See details below:

During the OneDrive setup process in Windows 10 version 1703 or below , you will be prompted to select which files to sync to your computer as shown in the following example. By default, Sync all files and folders in OneDrive -Temple University is selected.

​​​​​​​

In this example, the selected files to sync are greater than the remaining space on the local storage, as indicated at the bottom of the window. As a result, the Next button is grayed out.

To proceed, you will first need to deselect folders containing large amounts of data. These files will still be available to you, however, using the OneDrive web app at portal.office.com .

To continue with the installation, return to step 3 under Using the OneDrive App for Windows or Mac on the OneDrive Getting Started page .
