Microsoft is bringing its OneDrive Files On-Demand feature to macOS. OneDrive beta testers will be able to get access to the feature today, which lets OneDrive users use placeholders for files instead of syncing entire folders onto a MacBook. Mac users will be able to download files as they use them, instead of wasting space by syncing an entire OneDrive library.

The Files On-Demand feature requires macOS 10.14 Mojave (set to be released today) and an Apple File System (APFS) formatted volume. You can get early access to on demand OneDrive files on the Mac right here. Microsoft is also moving the Mac and Windows versions of OneDrive to a single code base, so that will mean the company will be testing more features for macOS each month. That will include testing features like Touch Bar integration, and any future OneDrive features planned for 2018 and beyond.
