Issue Description: Mac users may be unable to sign into or run multiple OneDrive for Business accounts on a single device.

More info: This problem mostly affected users attempting to sign into both a personal account and a business account on the same device, but also impacted users signing into two business accounts. The issue only impacted users who have updated their devices to macOS 11.6. The issue also impacted both the OneDrive for Mac standalone sync client and the OneDrive on the Mac app acquired through the App Store.

OneDrive for Mac standalone sync client users could have manually downloaded the updated build with a fix if they hadn’t automatically received it from the following link: https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Mac/Prod/21.160.0808.0004/OneDrive.zip

As previously mentioned, the OneDrive for Mac standalone sync client fix has been completed and users can manually download the updated build that includes the fix at: https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Mac/Prod/21.160.0808.0004/OneDrive.zip if their clients aren’t already updated automatically.
