There is a afsctool tool which allow to compress the folders in HFS+ file system. AFSC (Apple File System Compression) tool is an utility that can be used to apply HFS+ compression to file (s), decompress HFS+ compressed file (s), or get information about existing HFS+ compressed file (s). Mac OS 10.6 or later is required.

It seems Install macOS High Sierra.app uses HFS compression on numerous files and it seems 10.8 has issues with that and will not “see” those files. To quickly demonstrate which files are compressed, we will use stat and examine the stflags attribute, 0=no compression, 32=compression (thanks ghost of Mac OS X Hints!Reported by:Owned by:mfeiri Priority: Normal Milestone: Component: base Version: 2.1.99 Keywords: Cc: Port: Description Attachments (4)hfscompression.diff (665 bytes) - added by mfeiri8 years ago. hfscompression2.diff (672 bytes) - added by mfeiri8 years ago. hfscompression3.diff (2.6 KB) - added by mfeiri6 years ago. activate_with_compression.patch (1.4 KB) - added by eborisch (Eric A.

Some Additional Information....
In the past, when Sky Drive was first created, the SkyDrive Sync Folder on my Computer was compressed via NTFS volume compression and once that happened, my files in SkyDrive got corrupted and I had to restore from a local backup. I dealt with MSFT Pro-Support who ultimately confirmed this to be a bug and fixed it, but the damage was already done when I lost all my files. Prior to the bug, if the NTFS volume was not compressed, everything was fine, but once the volume on which the SkyDrive Sync folder sat was compressed, the corruption would occur once the files synchronized.
I need to avoid experiencing that problem with OneDrive and HFS+ volume compression so I need an official statement from Microsoft confirming the problem doesn't exist or stating it might exist and they have to test and certify the situation first, before guaranteeing full compatibility.
