    This should have been released by now
    Microsoft has released Microsoft teams Skype on Linux yet still no one drive or M365 how long must we wait should we just leave the Microsoft echo system it was bad enough when Microsoft killed off windows phone
    is there a bata for one drive

    As a computer enthusiast I use Windows, Mac & Linux, depending on my mood and where I am. I need M365 for business use, just like most of the planet. I pay for my 365 software and I would greatly appreciate being able to use it on Linux. It deserves a seamless experience. Frankly, the Mac experience is only just about there when it comes to 365. If I owned Microsoft I’d put some decent effort into making 365 as good for Linux as it is on Windows. That way the increasing number of ridiculous Macs being sold at silly prices could be stemmed and Microsoft would make more money off the upcoming generation who can figure out any OS but might be forced to use 365 by their employers. If Microsoft get 365 right on Linux they ensure their income streams for the next 100 years. Have you heard of raspberry pi? Choice of OS is now fluid for an increasing majority. But choice of software will still be dictated by employers. I have many Mac & Windows users in my business, and a few Linux. But I pay for 365 licence for all of them. The sooner Microsoft get this right for Linux, the sooner people have an alternative to Mac.

    considering office 365 linux uservoice has now surpassed teams, i hope onedrive is a good start on that path

    IF you, Microsoft, want to get users using your services,
    THEN you should offer similar access from all operating systems
    ELSE the users will use rClone OR move on to better solutions

    If you start supporting Linux for all of your programs, like Office 365/OneDrive, I will gladly pay even $20 a month.

    Let's make it happen Microsoft!!! There's always a community out here that's ready to help you at any time XD

    Our company uses E3 licenses. The fact that I can natively sync files on our Linux server with OneDrive is a real big hassle.

    Recently I've purchased yearly subscription for OneDrive Family as it really provides great value and is overall very nice service. What I'm missing though is reliable and preferably, Microsoft provided, sync client.

    Without the client, when I'm switching between various OS's, everything is overly complicated which pushes me back into the direction of self-hosting solutions.

    At least they could make it easy to those who want to develop a third party client for Linux. Hey M$, no one is going to migrate from Linux to Windows because of OneDrive lack of support to it. They already did the hardest part, that is changing the operating system. If I didn't have to use Office (Microsoft 365) for work purposes, I'd be paying for a cloud file server with Linux support, like pCloud.

    It seems that Microsoft won't create a native Linux app and I am starred to getting bored with this. I am a premium user and I can't use my Office 365 because Microsoft won't release an app for Linux, which I use in daily bases.

  • Luca Mauri commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Since "Microsoft Loves Linux" you really need to develop a Linux native client. This is currently the single feature that let me prefer DropBox over Office 365 subscription

  • Karl Dawkins commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This should definitely be a thing now with MS's love of Linux. If you can give us a Linux Subsystem there's no reason you cannot give us a full blown client.

    For now I'm using rClone but it's not the same.
