    On macOS, when OneDrive reports that it is damaged and should be moved to the Trash, reinstalling the OneDrive app is required.

    Follow these steps to reinstall OneDrive for Mac:

    1. Drag the OneDrive app from the Applications folder to the Trash.
    2. Download the Microsoft OneDrive app again from the official website using this link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=616514.
    3. Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts to sign in and get started.
    4. If specific folders were previously selected for sync, reconfigure them after sync completes by using the “Choose which OneDrive folders to sync to your computer” option.

    If OneDrive for work or school is also used, repeat the setup for that account after reinstalling.
