I’ve installed the Mac desktop app from your website and it seems to install correctly. However, when I try to open the app, nothing happens. Under “Info” the version says 0.0.0. This app worked for me previously, but for some reason stopped working after I logged out of the user profile in an attempt to switch users. I’m updated to the latest OS.
Thanks!
Hi @hdboice,
Can you try a full uninstall on the Mac and then another reinstall to see if it will resolve this issue?
Hi Tony, I had tried that a few times and it didn’t work. I was finally able to launch the app by right clicking on the icon in finder and going to “package contents” and opening it from there. All works well now. Thank you for responding!
Hi @hdboice,
That is definitely strange.
If you exit are you only able to start by doing the same thing again? It should be opening normally, without any issue, by just double-clicking on the odrive app in /Applications
Hi Tony, I just quit out of the app and tried to reopen it again. Same thing, didn’t launch. However, when I searched for “odrive” in Spotlight Search, there are now two options when I search for “odrive”: (screen shot attached)
I opened “odriveapp” and that worked for me again.
Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks!
Thanks for the additional information @hdboice. I don’t want to have you jump through too many hoops since you have a way to launch the app, but if you get a chance, can you try the following and let me know the result? I’m just trying to figure out why the odrive launcher would not be working properly.
Exit odrive.
Open a terminal session (type “terminal” in Spotlight search):
Run the following commands in the terminal session (copy & paste + Enter) and then paste the output here:
"/Applications/odrive.app/Contents/MacOS/odrive" -v
If the above command successfully runs odrive, then try this one next, after exiting odrive:
open -W -a "/Applications/odrive.app"
Hi Tony, I ran the first command and here’s what Terminal came back with:

Could not launch, which means the app is already running
Thanks @hdboice,
Can you try running one more command?
killall -KILL odrive; killall -KILL FinderSyncExtension; sleep 5; cd "$HOME"; rm -r ".odrive/bin"; rm ".odrive/version"; "/Applications/odrive.app/Contents/MacOS/odrive" -v
Can you copy and paste that (all one line) into the terminal when you get a chance and let me know if the resulting output changes?
Hi Tony,
Sure thing, that seemed to work! Here’s the output (and it launched the app)

Launch succeeded!
Same exact same happened to me. Always worked fine, recently stopped working. Tried Uninstalling and re-installing and nothing. Trying now what was proposed here.
This worked for me! Could not start oDrive, restarting Finder did not work. Thanks!
