ONEDRIVE(1) User Commands ONEDRIVE(1) NAME onedrive - A client for the Microsoft OneDrive Cloud Service SYNOPSIS onedrive [OPTION] --sync onedrive [OPTION] --monitor onedrive [OPTION] --display-config onedrive [OPTION] --display-sync-status onedrive [OPTION] -h | --help onedrive --version DESCRIPTION This is a free Microsoft OneDrive Client designed to work with OneDrive Personal, OneDrive for Business, Office365 OneDrive, and SharePoint Li- braries. It's fully compatible with most major Linux distributions and FreeBSD, and can be containerised using Docker or Podman. The client offers secure one-way and two-way synchronisation capabilities, making it easy to connect to Microsoft OneDrive services across various plat- forms. FEATURES * Compatible with OneDrive Personal, OneDrive for Business including accessing Microsoft SharePoint Libraries * Provides rules for client-side filtering to select data for syncing with Microsoft OneDrive accounts * Caches sync state for efficiency * Supports a dry-run option for safe configuration testing * Validates file transfers to ensure data integrity * Monitors local files in real-time using inotify * Supports interrupted uploads for completion at a later time * Capability to sync remote updates immediately via webhooks * Enhanced synchronisation speed with multi-threaded file transfers * Manages traffic bandwidth use with rate limiting * Supports seamless access to shared folders and files across both OneDrive Personal and OneDrive for Business accounts * Supports national cloud deployments including Microsoft Cloud for US Government, Microsoft Cloud Germany, and Azure and Office 365 operated by VNET in China * Supports sending desktop alerts using libnotify * Protects against significant data loss on OneDrive after configura- tion changes * Works with both single and multi-tenant applications CONFIGURATION By default, the client will use a sensible set of default values to in- teract with the Microsoft OneDrive service. Should you wish to change these defaults, you should copy the default config file into your home directory before making any applicable changes: mkdir -p ~/.config/onedrive cp @DOCDIR@/config ~/.config/onedrive/config Please refer to the online documentation file application-config-op- tions.md for details on all configuration file options. CLIENT SIDE FILTERING Client Side Filtering in the context of the OneDrive Client for Linux refers to user-configured rules that determine what files and directo- ries the client should upload or download from Microsoft OneDrive. These rules are crucial for optimising synchronisation, especially when dealing with large numbers of files or specific file types. The OneDrive Client for Linux offers several configuration options to fa- cilitate this: skip_dir Specifies directories that should not be synchronised with OneDrive. Useful for omitting large or irrelevant directories from the sync process. skip_dotfiles Excludes dotfiles, usually configuration files or scripts, from the sync. Ideal for users who prefer to keep these files local. skip_file Allows specifying specific files to exclude from synchronisa- tion. Offers flexibility in selecting essential files for cloud storage. skip_symlinks Prevents symlinks, which often point to files outside the OneDrive directory or to irrelevant locations, from being in- cluded in the sync. Additionally, the OneDrive Client for Linux allows the implementation of Client Side Filtering rules through a 'sync_list' file. This file explicitly states which directories or files should be included in the synchronisation. By default, any item not listed in the 'sync_list' file is excluded. This approach offers granular control over synchroni- sation, ensuring that only necessary data is transferred to and from Microsoft OneDrive. These configurable options and the 'sync_list' file provide users with the flexibility to tailor the synchronisation process to their specific needs, conserving bandwidth and storage space while ensuring that im- portant files are always backed up and accessible. NOTE: After changing any Client Side Filtering rule, a full re-syn- chronisation must be performed using --resync FIRST RUN Once you've installed the application, you'll need to authorise it us- ing your Microsoft OneDrive Account. This can be done by simply running the application without any additional command switches. Please be aware that some companies may require you to explicitly add this app to the Microsoft MyApps portal. To add an approved app to your apps, click on the ellipsis in the top-right corner and select "Request new apps." On the next page, you can add this app. If it's not listed, you should make a request through your IT department. When you run the application for the first time, you'll be prompted to open a specific URL using your web browser, where you'll need to log in to your Microsoft Account and grant the application permission to ac- cess your files. After granting permission to the application, you'll be redirected to a blank page. Simply copy the URI from the blank page and paste it into the application. This process authenticates your application with your account informa- tion, and it is now ready to use to sync your data between your local system and Microsoft OneDrive. GUI NOTIFICATIONS If the client has been compiled with support for notifications, the client will send notifications about client activity via libnotify to the GUI via DBus when the client is being run in --monitor mode. APPLICATION LOGGING When running onedrive all actions can be logged to a separate log file. This can be enabled by using the --enable-logging flag. By default, log files will be written to /var/log/onedrive. All logfiles will be in the format of %username%.onedrive.log, where %username% represents the user who ran the client. ALL CLI OPTIONS The options below allow you to control the behavior of the onedrive client from the CLI. Without any specific option, if the client is al- ready authenticated, the client will exit without any further action. --sync Do a one-time synchronisation with OneDrive. --monitor Monitor filesystem for changes and sync regularly. --display-config Display the currently used configuration for the onedrive client. --display-sync-status Query OneDrive service and report on pending changes. --auth-files ARG Perform authentication not via interactive dialog but via files that are read/written when using this option. The two files are passed in as ARG in the format authUrl:responseUrl. The autho- risation URL is written to the authUrl file, then onedrive waits for the file responseUrl to be present, and reads the response from that file. Always specify the full path when using this option, otherwise the application will default to using the default configuration path for these files (~/.config/onedrive/) --auth-response ARG Perform authentication not via interactive dialog but via pro- viding the response URL directly. --check-for-nomount Check for the presence of .nosync in the syncdir root. If found, do not perform sync. --check-for-nosync Check for the presence of .nosync in each directory. If found, skip directory from sync. --classify-as-big-delete ARG Number of children in a path that is locally removed which will be classified as a 'big data delete'. --cleanup-local-files Cleanup additional local files when using --download-only. This will remove local data. --confdir ARG Set the directory used to store the configuration files. --create-directory ARG Create a directory on OneDrive - no sync will be performed. --create-share-link ARG Create a shareable link for an existing file on OneDrive. --debug-https Debug OneDrive HTTPS communication. --destination-directory ARG Destination directory for renamed or moved items on OneDrive - no sync will be performed. --disable-download-validation Disable download validation when downloading from OneDrive. --disable-notifications Do not use desktop notifications in monitor mode. --disable-upload-validation Disable upload validation when uploading to OneDrive. --display-quota Display the quota status of the client - no sync will be per- formed. --display-running-config Display what options the client has been configured to use on application startup. --download-only Replicate the OneDrive online state locally, by only downloading changes from OneDrive. Do not upload local changes to OneDrive. --dry-run Perform a trial sync with no changes made. --enable-logging Enable client activity to a separate log file. --force Force the deletion of data when a 'big delete' is detected. --force-http-11 Force the use of HTTP 1.1 for all operations. --force-sync Force a synchronisation of a specific folder, only when using --sync --single-directory and ignore all non-default skip_dir and skip_file rules. --get-O365-drive-id ARG Query and return the Office 365 Drive ID for a given Office 365 SharePoint Shared Library (DEPRECATED). --get-file-link ARG Display the file link of a synced file. --get-sharepoint-drive-id Query and return the Office 365 Drive ID for a given Office 365 SharePoint Shared Library. --help, -h Display application help. --list-shared-items List OneDrive Business Shared Items. --local-first Synchronise from the local directory source first, before down- loading changes from OneDrive. --log-dir ARG Directory where logging output is saved to, needs to end with a slash. --logout Logout the current user. --modified-by ARG Display the last modified by details of a given path. --monitor-interval ARG Number of seconds by which each sync operation is undertaken when idle under monitor mode. --monitor-log-frequency ARG Frequency of logging in monitor mode. --no-remote-delete Do not delete local file 'deletes' from OneDrive when using --upload-only. --print-access-token Print the access token, useful for debugging. --reauth Reauthenticate the client with OneDrive. --remove-directory ARG Remove a directory on OneDrive - no sync will be performed. --remove-source-files Remove source file after successful transfer to OneDrive when using --upload-only. --resync Forget the last saved state, perform a full sync. --resync-auth Approve the use of performing a --resync action. --single-directory ARG Specify a single local directory within the OneDrive root to sync. --skip-dir ARG Skip any directories that match this pattern from syncing. --skip-dir-strict-match When matching skip_dir directories, only match explicit matches. --skip-dot-files Skip dot files and folders from syncing. --skip-file ARG Skip any files that match this pattern from syncing. --skip-size ARG Skip new files larger than this size (in MB). --skip-symlinks Skip syncing of symlinks. --source-directory ARG Source directory to rename or move on OneDrive - no sync will be performed. --space-reservation ARG The amount of disk space to reserve (in MB) to avoid 100% disk space utilisation. --sync-root-files Sync all files in sync_dir root when using sync_list. --sync-shared-files Sync OneDrive Business Shared Files to the local filesystem. --syncdir ARG Specify the local directory used for synchronisation to OneDrive. --synchronize Perform a synchronisation with Microsoft OneDrive (DEPRECATED). --upload-only Replicate the locally configured sync_dir state to OneDrive, by only uploading local changes to OneDrive. Do not download changes from OneDrive. --verbose, -v+ Print more details, useful for debugging (repeat for extra de- bugging). --version Print the version and exit. --with-editing-perms Create a read-write shareable link for an existing file on OneDrive when used with --create-share-link <file>.
