The linux OneDrive client abraunegg/onedrive seamlessly supports OneDrive Personal, OneDrive for Business, OneDrive for Office365, and SharePoint Libraries. See also the GUI for the OneDrive client: bpozdena/OneDriveGUI.
Setup¶
Install (Ubuntu)¶
Follow the instructions:
wget -qO - https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-ubuntu-onedrive/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/obs-onedrive.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/obs-onedrive.gpg] https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-ubuntu-onedrive/xUbuntu_24.04/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/onedrive.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests onedrive
Authorize the Application¶
Run onedrive and visit the listed links.
onedrive
Show config¶
onedrive --display-config
Check if onedrive runs¶
onedrive --sync --dry-run
The default folder for OneDrive files is ~/OneDrive.
If everything is OK, then download the OneDrive files
onedrive --sync --verbose
Set maximal number of watched files¶
The onedrive client will watch a lot of files for synchronization and they may exceed the system limit (e.g., 65536). You can check the limits via:
sysctl fs.file-max
for the maximal number of files. And
sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches
for the maximal number of file watches.
You can increase the value by editing /etc/sysctl.conf
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576
Run onedrive client as a service¶
systemctl --user enable onedrive
systemctl --user start onedrive
To check the service's status:
systemctl --user status onedrive.service
To view the systemd application logs:
journalctl --user-unit=onedrive -f
The onedrive client will run in the monitor mode (onedrive --monitor), checking the file changes from local and remote and update them periodically.
