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.
