Onedrive
We need to start saving data on Onedrive (or at least use as a backup) as the university moves towards cloud saving. I've tried a few Linux solutions, the best I found is a fork of Onedrive Free Client (original - https://github.com/skilion/onedrive/, working fork - https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive). The software crashes every now and then, so you'll need to keep an eye on it. I use OneDrive strictly for archiving, and Dropbox for day-to-day. Be careful of Windows naming conventions! - I've had the program crash numerous times due to this.
Here are a set of instructions I used to get it working;
-
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
-
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
-
sudo apt-get install curl
-
curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd
-
~/dlang/install.sh
-
source ~/dlang/dmd-2.080.1/activate
-
mkdir ~/tmp
(if a tmp folder doesn't exist) -
cd ~/tmp
-
git clone https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive.git
-
cd onedrive
-
make
-
sudo make install
(you can remove dlang at this point if you want) -
onedrive --synchronize
- Copy the web address it gives you to a web browser, login to your account and copy the web link when a blank page pops up.
- Enter the copied url into the terminal - it will start syncing your files into
~/Onedrive
- Once that's done, run
onedrive -m
and leave it running
There is a way of running a onedrive service using systemctl, but I haven't been able to get that working (see forked github). I prefer having it open in a terminal though, you can keep an eye on what's being transferred.
