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.
