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, particularly with capitals (Windows/Linux is case insensitive/sensitive respectively).
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-[version]/activatelook for the version in the terminal (2.083.0 on Dec 2018) -
mkdir ~/tmp(if a tmp folder doesn't exist) -
cd ~/tmp -
git clone https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive.git -
cd onedrive -
./configure -
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 -mand 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.
- I've found the program detox valuable here (
sudo apt-get install detox). It changes 'non-standard' lettering to underscores (detox -r -v ~/Onedrive/).
