Question

How do I open a OneDrive for Business file using Preview using Applescript? I’ve tried this so far:

tell application "Preview" to open POSIX file "Users/myname/One Drive - MySchoolOrCompany/path/to/file"

However, I get this error message from Preview (filename is the name of my file):

The file “filename” couldn't be opened because there is no such file.

I have checked and the file path is correct.

Was it helpful?

Solution

I figured it out. I didn't have a forward slash before Users:

tell application "Preview" to open POSIX file "/Users/myname/One Drive - MySchoolOrCompany/path/to/file"
