onedrive-d

This project aims to deliver a Microsoft OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) client that runs on major Linux distros. The API is based on Mike Kazantsev's project python-onedrive.

Currently the reference environment is Ubuntu x64, while support for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora is on the way.

Branches

• master: the main branch
• wip: the newest work

Notes for RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Users

I've decided to support RHEL / CentOS / Fedora distros, and there are many tests to be done. Please do give me feedback. I really appreciate your help.

How can I find the "Tray Icon" of OneDrive-D on Fedora?

On Fedora Gnome 20, press Super + M (default keyboard shortcut) to call out the messaging tray and you will find the familiar OneDrive cloud icon in it.

Notes about Usage

There are some notes regarding the usage.

• OneDrive uses NTFS file naming rules. i.e., case insensitive, and the following characters are reserved in file names: <, >, :, ", \,/, |, ?, and *. As a result, files containing those special characters will be ignored by the program. As for case insensitivity, the program will rename files that conflict in cases.

For Developers

Components

The major components in this program are:

• DirScanner scans the differences between the local and remote dirs, and merges them if needed
  • It does not delete files.
  • May undo file deletion or mess up the repo. But by far we prefer the safest approach.
• TaskWorker
  • It executes the tasks issued by DirScanner objects
  • and waits to handle new tasks
    • Tasks are wrapped as objects
• LocalMonitor
  • It forks a inotifywait process to monitor the OneDrive local repository.
  • and issue tasks for TaskWorkers to perform if there are any changes detected.
• RemoteMonitor
  • Pull the recent updates from server and merge the new ones
  • Periodically update the quota information
• Linux Service
  • The service will be installed to /etc/init.d/onedrive-d
