OneDrive Client for Linux

Introducing a free Microsoft OneDrive Client that seamlessly supports OneDrive Personal, OneDrive for Business, OneDrive for Office365, and SharePoint Libraries.

This robust and highly customisable client is compatible with all major Linux distributions and FreeBSD, and can also be deployed as a container using Docker or Podman. It offers both one-way and two-way synchronisation capabilities while ensuring a secure connection to Microsoft OneDrive services.

Originally derived as a 'fork' from the skilion client, it's worth noting that the developer of the original client has explicitly stated they have no intention of maintaining or supporting their work (reference).

This client represents a 100% re-imagining of the original work, addressing numerous notable bugs and issues while incorporating a significant array of new features. This client has been under active development since mid-2018.

The current release version is:

To check your version, run: onedrive --version. Ensure you are using the current release or compile the latest version from the master branch if needed.

If you are using an older version, you must upgrade to the current release or newer to receive support.

Basic Troubleshooting Steps

If you are encountering any issue running the application please follow these steps first:

1. Check the version of the application you are using onedrive --version and ensure that you are running either the latest release or built from master.
2. Configure the application to only use IPv4 network connectivity, and then retest.
3. Configure the application to only use HTTP/1.1. operations with IPv4 network connectivity, and then retest.
4. If the above points do not resolve your issue, upgrade your 'curl' version to the latest available by the curl developers. Refer to https://curl.se/docs/releases.html for details.

Reporting an Issue or Bug

Important

Please ensure that issues reported as bugs are indeed software bugs. For installation problems, distribution package/version issues, or package dependency concerns, please start a Discussion instead of filing a bug report.

If you encounter any bugs you can report them here on Github. Before filing an issue be sure to:

1. Fill in a new bug report using the issue template
2. Generate a debug log for support using the following process
   • If you are in any way concerned regarding the sensitivity of the data contained with in the verbose debug log file, create a new OneDrive account, configure the client to use that, use dummy data to simulate your environment and then replicate your original issue
   • If you are still concerned, provide an NDA or confidentiality document to sign
3. Upload the debug log to pastebin or archive and email to [email protected]
   • If you are concerned regarding the sensitivity of your debug data, encrypt + password protect the archive file and provide the decryption password via an out-of-band (OOB) mechanism. Email [email protected] for an OOB method for the password to be sent.
   • If you are still concerned, provide an NDA or confidentiality document to sign
