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. | There is a way of running a onedrive service using systemctl, but I haven't been able to get that working (see forked github).

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 is a fork of Onedrive Free Client (original - https://github.com/skilion/onedrive/, working fork - https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive). Here are a set of instructions I used to get it working;
-
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev -
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev - Find and install curl if not installed
-
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 -
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.
