Here is a question we received some time ago from a reader struggling to read a Onenote files on macOS:

I have received a bunch of .one files from my colleagues as attachments to an Outlook email. The challenge is that I don’t know how to open these files and I don’t find a compatible program to launch those. What are these files? How do I open it?

Mac OneNote Cache Folder The Gem Menu opens the OneNote cache folder with Mac Finder. Here, we can see the OneNote for Mac data files. OneNote for Mac is part of Office 2019 and Microsoft 365, but it can also be downloaded from the Mac App Store and used independently on any Mac with a 64-bit processor running macOS 10.13 or later. OneNote for Mac features a full Office ribbon interface that can be.

Thanks for the question. Let’s see how we go about helping you read these files on MAC and PC.

What are .one files?

First things first: the .one format represents files used in Microsoft OneNote, which is Microsoft’s solution for note taking, sharing and collaboration. Microsoft Office suites for Windows ships OneNote since version 2013. Office for macOS also ships it as part of Office 365.

How to read the .one file extension?

First off, either on MAC or PC look into your computer Apps and programs list to see if OneNote is already installed on your computer. If you are already using Office 365, good chances it is.

If OneNote is not installed, then you can get it for free from the Microsoft site (requires Windows 7/8/10 and Yosemite 10.10 or later). Once installed, you can go ahead and open your file.

What if i can’t install software on my PC?

If you work for a corporate, good chances are that you might not have permissions to install software on your computer, and OneNote will be no exception.

That said, you still have some a couple of ways to pursue:

Use the Web version of OneNote

Office 365 online ships also a web version of Onenote. If you don’t have a Microsoft Office account, you should first create one.

Your next step would be to save your .one file into OneDrive and open it with web version of OneNote 365. This should be your preferred course of action in case no software installs are possible.

If you are using Microsoft Teams, you have OneNote available there as well.

Convert to Word (.doc/.docx) files or PDF files

There is a template in the Apple/Mac version of Office 2010 for Word. So you can convert .one files to .doc or .docx files and use Apple version of Office 2010 to read those files. This can be done by saving your files in OneNote with .doc or .docx extension by choosing the “Save As” format. You can also save it with PDF format so you can use a PDF reader in a MAC to read the files.

Convert to HTML

You can export OneNote files in a very easy and understandable HTML format by using this OneNote Web Explorer plugin. You can find a small word like icon in the top navigation menu once you have installed this plugin and click on it to convert to HTML.

Use Evernote

Onenote

You can also import .one files into Evernote and read .one files using this application. All you need to do is login to Evernote and import files from OneNote byhitting File –> Import –> Microsoft OneNote. A wizard will then guide you through the import process.

Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) version 3.18 and later includes the msupdate command-line tool. The msupdate tool can be used to start the update process for Microsoft applications produced for Mac, such as Office. The tool is primarily designed to give IT administrators more precise control over when updates are applied. You can download the latest version of MAU from this link.

msupdate works by sending Apple Events to the MAU daemon. On macOS 10.14 Mojave and later, you may see a privacy prompt when running msupdate for the first time. If you are using an enterprise management tool such as Jamf Pro, you should deploy a Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) payload to pre-approve access. Samples of such a payload can be downloaded from GitHub.

Use the following steps to start using the tool:

  1. Open the Terminal application
  2. Enter cd /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS
  3. Run ./msupdate --help

The following options are displayed:

Note

  • The identifiers for the Office apps, such as Word and Outlook, can be used for Office for Mac (from an Office 365 or Microsoft 365 subscription plan) or for Office 2019 for Mac (either a retail or a volume licensed version).
  • If an update is pending for MAU itself, that update must be applied before any applications can be updated.
  • Identifiers are not case-sensitive when run interactively from the command-line, but use the character casing in the table when running from a management tool such as Jamf Pro.
  • Microsoft Teams might use MAU to provide updates in some scenarios, such as if the Teams updater fails. But, you can't use msupdate to have MAU manage updates for Teams, because Teams doesn't provide admins the ability to deploy and manage updates. Instead, Teams is updated automatically approximately every two weeks with new features and quality updates. For more information, see Teams update process.
