ubuntu 18.04 gnome microsoft onedrive

**Frank P** · July 28th, 2020

new to the desktop - okay with the command line.
I somehow clicked on something (no idea what

) that let me login to my Microsoft OneDrive and give it the necessary permissions to access it. Checked Google but all i found was accessing it by other apps like rsync. How do I access OneDrive directly from Gnome like i did accidently
Thanks

Did you access onedrive from settings>online accounts? I know there is a MS login there.

Frogs Hair,
I will check later - can't get to pc right now.

Meanwhile
I checked "advise me of replies immediately via email" but I'm not getting advised. I used to. Has something changed?

Thanks
Frank

Yes that's what happened. I went to settings - online accounts and signed in to OneDrive. Just did it again now. I gave it permission for mail & documents. Is there information anywhere on how to access it. It doesn't show up under Documents or Network
Thanks
Frank

There is onedrive sync application in the repository. I have not used it or configured it. See github link.

Thanks for the link. I was hoping for something more direct. On windows I have a file manager - Total Commander, that gives me a live connection, no syncing.
Is there anything like that for Linux? If not I'll move everything off OneDrive to my server and go back to doing backups the old way

Thanks
