Rclone https://rclone.org/ is installed on the Physics HPCs and virtual workstations but is available for most Linux distributions including those derived from Ubuntu.
While its possible to connect to OneDrive without a graphical interface (see https://rclone.org/remote_setup/) these instructions assume you have a graphical interface such as Nomachine. This is required for the authentication phase.

Your OneDrive share can now be accessed using Rclone command line tools
# List contents of the share rclone lsf onedrive: # # Display file on OneDrive rclone cat onedrive:Letter.txt # # Copy file rclone copy Example.txt onedrive: # # Get help rclone --help # ... for a command rclone copy --help
More conveniently a OneDrive share can be mounted locally as a user space file system served by the rclone software running in the background.
# Create mount point in $HOME # Permissions MUST be rwxr-xr-x (0755) mkdir -m 0755 ~/onedrive # # Mount OneDrive share # The --gid=`id -g` argument just retrieves your group id # so that file under ~/onedrive have this group ownership. # Substitute the numeric value output from id -g if you wish. # The --daemon switch places rclone in the background. # mount --daemon --gid=`id -g` --umask 027 --vfs-cache-mode writes onedrive: ~/onedrive # # List contents of share # ls ~/onedrive # # When finished unmount share # fusermount -u ~/onedrive
