Deploy the settings on macOS in the typical way:
Quit the OneDrive application.

If you ever find yourself needing to reinstall OneDrive, here is how you can do it easily without having to redownload the installer from the web.
Microsoft’s OneDrive online storage service has been pretty solid over the years. But as with all programs, it can occasionally hit a snag or two. Fortunately, there’s a quick and easy way to reinstall OneDrive without having to waste your bandwidth downloading the installer again. Windows 10 includes a built-in copy of the installer for OneDrive that you can launch right away without waiting for a download. In this article, we show you how to find it.
How to Uninstall or Reinstall Microsoft OneDrive in Windows 10
OneDrive comes preinstalled with Windows 10. If it stops working, you can download OneDrive directly from Microsoft, but there’s an easier way.
Deep within the OS is a backup copy of the OneDriver installer. To find it, go to File Explorer > This PC and open the system drive where Windows 10 is installed (usually C:). Open the Windows folder and then open the WinSxS folder. In the search box, type onedrive then wait until the OneDriveSetup setup file appears.
Once you find it, double-click it to begin setup and you should be on your way to reinstalling OneDrive.
So, if you ever experience a problem with OneDrive not working properly, you know what to do.
Don’t forget, you can uninstall OneDrive, too. For users who don’t want to be nagged by a feature they aren’t using, you can keep it off your system by opening Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Scroll down to Microsoft OneDrive, select it then click Uninstall.
These instructions apply to the desktop version of OneDrive. Microsoft also has a modern version of OneDrive app for Windows 10 you can download from the Microsoft Store. In our previous article, we showed you how to set up and use the OneDrive universal app. If there is more you would like to know about OneDrive, remember to check out our series of articles for tips and tricks, whether you use Windows, Mac, Android or iOS.
