The macOS Monterey 12.3 beta update is deprecating a kernel extension used by Microsoft OneDrive to download files on demand. The extension makes files available to you when needed, but they don't take up space on your disk when not in use.

Microsoft has a replacement for this functionality currently in beta.

Microsoft plans to use Apple's File Provider extensions for future OneDrive versions. The new Files On-Demand feature will be on by default, and Files On-Demand will be supported in macOS 12.1 and later.

Note: This also affect Mac users with Dropbox.
