    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.

    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.

    I also need the linux support for onedrive, especially the option to keep files only in the onedrivecloud, not syncing all the data to my notebook (it's a macbook air and disk space is very rare there;-))
    You would make me very happy!

    I like OneDrive on Windows and Android because it just works :)
    On Linux it is unfortunately still a hack :(

  • Firat Soylu commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I am yet another Linux user. I work at a university who has a subscription to both Office365 and Box. I have been using Box with some makeshift solutions to sync but I am tired of it. I am considering switching to OneDrive. I would very much appreciate it if you release a OneDrive Linux client. I would stop using Box and would never look back.

    I think that Linux-based computer system is the present and the future. Windows cannot forget taking into account this evidence.

    Microsoft could get more suportters if it did and effort to get closer to Linux.

    Moreover, I use Linux from a long time ago and I would like to pass from Dropbox to OneDrive.

    I too would like to see 1 drive for linux. We run lots of scientific workflows in on linux and AWS. I would be great if we could have access to our one drives on our linux VDI instances.

    This would be great since office files are small and would incur minimal egress charges.

    I've used OneDrive for years and think it's the best cloud storage available! However, I can't use it well on my work machine as there is no OneDrive client for Linux. This would be a feature I would really appreciate!

    I work on Linux and Windows, Im'm a user of office 365 and I need Onedrive on Linux (Debian)

  • Marco Poloni commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I work cross platform and I'm really missing my files on linux (as I have on Win10, Mac, iOS and Android...).
