This has been very handy for me since I use both operating systems, and OneDrive has really helped me keep everything synced on all devices AND OSes. So when you add something to your OneDrive, it'll automatically download to your Linux folder, and vice-versa. Once it's all setup and the daemon is running, it maintains a sync between your OneDrive account and the folder you specified automatically.

You can then also drag it into the left bar under "Places" so that it's always accessible everywhere. I just downloaded a custom icon for the folder that has clouds on it. The Startup and Shutdown screen here:īelow is how it looks in the file manager: I enabled and started the rvice and my cpu usage was often at 100 just because of the onedrive monitoring service. Check out the top five desktop client apps available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. In the console you can also use commands "stop" and "status". The monitoring feature of this onedrive client consumes a lot of battery life. Make sure you have "start" after the application because this runs in the background as a daemon(Like a Windows Service). In Kubuntu's control panel, it's in the "Startup and Shutdown" section. Now once you've installed it, you have to make sure it runs at every bootup. For ease of use, I created a folder in my Home folder called "OneDrive" and linked that to my OneDrive account. When I installed it, there was no GUI, it was a bunch of questions through the command line, but the end result was the same including authorizing access through Microsoft's login. If you need to upload files to OneDrive and download files from OneDrive, the best option I can see would be to create two different folders in documents and OndeDrive (Uploads and downloads) and use a separate sync or copy command for each folder. The instructions I posted show a GUI to set things up. My use case has always been a 1 way sync.

This is just to let people know that you can use OneDrive in Linux as well so that you don't have to boot back and forth just to upload or download from OneDrive! The Linux app to make this happen is called onedrive-d I realize there may be flames from posting Linux stuff on a Windows forum, but I use both, and I'm sure many others do to.
