Install the OneDrive client

Reference project: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive

(1) Install dependencies

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libsqlite3-dev pkg-config git curl
sudo apt install libnotify-dev
curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd

Activate DMD (adjust the command for your own version number)

source ~/dlang/dmd-2.082.0/activate

(2) Install the onedrive client

Download the onedrive 2.5.x source. Note that 2.4.x and 2.5.x must not be used at the same time, or you may accidentally delete files. URL: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/releases

git clone https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive.git
cd onedrive-2.5.5
./configure
make clean
make
sudo make install

(3) First-time configuration

Run the following command: onedrive

onedrive

Click the link in the terminal, sign in to your OneDrive account, and you will be redirected to a blank page.

Copy the page URL into the terminal and press Enter. You should see successfully authorised, which means it succeeded.

Download the config file

mkdir -p ~/.config/onedrive
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abraunegg/onedrive/master/config -O ~/.config/onedrive/config
nano ~/.config/onedrive/config

Uncomment the following lines in the config file

sync_dir = "~/disk/ubuntu/onedrive"
monitor_interval = "60"
skip_dir = "图片" #跳过同步的路径，可以用|来分割，例如："Desktop|Documents/IISExpress*"

(4) Sync

First sync

onedrive --synchronize

Live sync (you can add this to startup programs)

onedrive --monitor

GUI

Reference project: https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI

With the setup above, you cannot see the live sync process.

You can download the AppImage from the OneDriveGUI project.

Grant execute permission (use the filename of your current latest OneDriveGUI version)

chmod +x OneDriveGUI-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

For the first launch, double-click or start it from the terminal

  • Consider moving OneDriveGUI-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage to another directory so you do not delete it by mistake when cleaning up the Downloads folder later
/home/【你的路径】/OneDriveGUI-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage

Choose 【Create New Config】, enter your Microsoft account as the username, and select the path where you want OneDrive files saved.

That gives you OneDrive with a GUI. Click the small triangle on the left to start syncing.

GUI

For convenience, I recommend adding the /home/mahaofei/Downloads/OneDriveGUI-1.1.1-x86_64.AppImage command to 【Startup Applications】 in the start menu and setting it to launch on boot. That way OneDrive files will start syncing automatically every time you boot.
