OneLake Explorer for macOS

OneLake Explorer for macOS

Browse Microsoft Fabric OneLake from Finder. Like OneDrive or Google Drive — but for your data lake. Multiple accounts in multiple tenants, side by side, with a single Homebrew install.

Pre-release, under active development.

Install

brew install --cask sdebruyn/ofem/ofem

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later on Apple Silicon. No system-level changes, no extra dependencies, no admin password.

What you get

  • Multiple OneLake accounts across multiple Microsoft Entra tenants visible side by side in Finder.
  • Online-only placeholders by default — files stream on demand, cached locally for instant reopen.
  • Drag, drop, double-click, save in any app. Spotlight indexing and Quick Look work out of the box.
  • One Finder sidebar entry per account (OneLake — work, OneLake — client-a, …) so workspaces from different tenants never collide. macOS places each one under ~/Library/CloudStorage/OneLake-<alias>/, the same way OneDrive and Google Drive do.

What's not here

Things managed by Microsoft Fabric and not exposed through the file system: creating or renaming workspaces, managing permissions, changing the schema of Delta tables. Those still go through the Fabric portal.

Strict tenant? Bring your own App Registration

OFEM ships with a multi-tenant Entra App Registration that works for most users. Tenants that block third-party multi-tenant apps can supply their own client ID in Add Account → Advanced — see Custom App Registration for the exact registration settings.
