onedrive / google drive on Linux

Hi folks

1) Install rclone on Linux via your package manager - on arch / manjaro it's in the AUR (yay rclone)

2) follow these instructions after installing rclone (start at step 2 in the instructions !! skip step 1 -- install via your own package manager)

How To Mount OneDrive In Linux Using Rclone (Supports Business And Personal Accounts) - Linux Uprising Blog

After Web browser opens -- sign in and save as book mark

Then next time at boot or whenever to mount the one drive disk simply run this command as a normal user

rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount "onedrive": ~/OneDrive





Your OneDrive cloud disk will be mounted on onedrive in your Linux system - access just like Windows





And from the browser





Job done !!!


Cheers

Share a specific folder into cloud such as one drive or google drive?

Excellent instructions. I would just add one more step: If user uses OneDrive Files on Demand feature, then user needs to right click the OneDrive\OpenTTD folder on both computers and select Always keep on this device:

 

OneDrive - Bait and switch (but to what?)

Google Drive offers 17GB free, I see no discernible reason to bother with OneDrive's crippled storage capacity.

EDIT: For a painless transfer, I used microsoft's SyncToy to do a daily backup of DropBox/OneDrive items nightly at 4PM to a Google Drive folder. Once I had finished setting up my phone's automatic backup and had my work flow transferred, I just stopped the auto-backup script and uninstalled OneDrive/DropBox and carried on using Google Drive. Switching cloud storage service isn't remotely arduous.
