Users will need this information when configuring access to OneDrive from a Linux Centos 8 VDI session.
Step-by-step guide
Configure
$ rclone config
- Select "n" for "New remote"
- Name your drive "OneDrive"
- Select "23" for type of storage
Then follow the instructions. Default answers can be accepted safely for every question that has one.
$ mkdir ~/OneDrive
Mount
$ rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode full OneDrive: ~/OneDrive &
For more detailed information, please visit: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/
Unmount
$ fusermount -u ~/OneDrive
Refresh token
$ rclone config
Edit OneDrive, answer yes to the first question. Answer all defaults until rclone says that the token already exists, refresh? Say yes.
- The drive will stay mounted as long as the session is kept alive
- Even if the empty destination mount point is readable for group/all users, it won't be accessible by anyone but the user while it is mounted
- NEVER mount without the "--vfs-cache-mode full" command-line parameter to avoid risk of data corruption
Autostart
In order to get the mount added on login, you need to create a file named onedrive.desktop in ~/.config/autostart with the following lines:
[Desktop Entry] Name=Onedrive Type=Application Exec=sh -c "rclone mount --vfs-cache-mode full OneDrive: ~/OneDrive &"
Trusted files
You might need to allow onedrive.desktop to be trusted in order to make it work. Just open the file browser, navigate to the file and double click on it. On the dialog select "Trust and Launch"
