How To Fix Case Sensitive Problem For Mac

I have had my Macbook pro for several months now, however I never was able to sync my files with the one drive client, a few months ago we created a ticket with Microsoft, and they said it was not possible because it was not compatible with MacOS Sierra.

After 15 minutes googling it, I didnt find an exact solution, but a post from someone lead me to the right direction.

Use Disk Utility to shrink the size of your existing boot partition to just big enough to contain the existing files. Create a new partition that is only Mac OS (Journaled) and is NOT case sensitive. Backup the original drive to the new partition. I used SuperDuper! But you can use rsync.
