You can sync content from SharePoint Online (deakin365.sharepoint.com) sites to your Mac through the OneDrive client, however SharePoint sites on collaborate.deakin.edu.au cannot be synced

 

The OneDrive client for Mac enables you to sync your Deakin-provided Office 365 OneDrive storage (up to 1TB) to your Mac. It can also sync certain SharePoint sites to your Mac.

If you have a managed Deakin Desktop Mac, the OneDrive client is pre-installed and updated automatically. If you are setting up OneDrive on your own computer, you must install the OneDrive client; it is not automatically installed with Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac.

If you wish to sync files with SharePoint, you must install the Standalone OneDrive client - the version published in the Mac App Store does not support SharePoint sync.

1. If you wish to sync files with SharePoint but have previously installed OneDrive from the Mac App Store, you must first uninstall the Mac App Store version - if you need help, see Install, update and uninstall apps (Apple Support Article)
   
   
2. Install and setup the OneDrive client for Mac, and sync OneDrive/SharePoint - everything you need is at Get Started with the new OneDrive sync client on Mac OS X (Microsoft Support Article)
