CONFIGURATION
You should copy the default config file into your home directory before making changes:
mkdir -p ~/.config/onedrive
cp @DOCDIR@/config ~/.config/onedrive/config
For the supported options see the above list of command line options for the availability of a
configuration key.
Pattern are case insensitive. * and ? wildcards characters are supported. Use | to separate multiple
patterns.
After changing the filters (skip_file or skip_dir in your configs) you must execute onedrive
--synchronize --resync.
FIRST RUN
After installing the application you must run it at least once from the terminal to authorize it.
You will be asked to open a specific link using your web browser where you will have to login into your
Microsoft Account and give the application the permission to access your files. After giving the
permission, you will be redirected to a blank page. Copy the URI of the blank page into the application.
SYSTEMD INTEGRATION
Service files are installed into user and system directories.
OneDrive service running as root user
To enable this mode, run as root user
systemctl enable onedrive
systemctl start onedrive
OneDrive service running as root user for a non-root user
This mode allows starting the OneDrive service automatically with system start for multiple users.
For each <username> run:
systemctl enable onedrive@<username>
systemctl start onedrive@<username>
OneDrive service running as non-root user
In this mode the service will be started when the user logs in. Run as user
systemctl --user enable onedrive
systemctl --user start onedrive
LOGGING OUTPUT
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.
NOTIFICATIONS
If OneDrive has been compiled with support for notifications, a running onedrive in monitor mode will
send notifications about initialization and errors via libnotify to the dbus.
Note that this does not work if onedrive is started as root for a user via the onedrive@<username>
service.
