mount to a folder

Rclone

You can use rclone to mount your UGent Ondrive to a folder. Make sure you have the rclone package, in the Terminal type:

sudo apt install -y rclone

check this URL: https://rclone.org/onedrive/. This is what you do:

$ rclone config
n -> New remote
myonedrive -> name
22 -> Microsoft OneDrive
ENTER -> client_id
ENTER -> client_secret
n -> Edit advanced config
y -> auto config
1 -> OneDrive Personal or Business
0 -> 0: OneDrive (business...
y -> okay?
y -> Yes this is OK

Test

Try to list your psychedelic directories:

rclone lsd myonedrive:

or recursively all files:

rclone ls myonedrive:

Mount

mkdir ~/onedrive
rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount myonedrive: ~/onedrive

The mount will be active until you interrupt it with ^C.

Now you can open your file browser and browse your ~/onedrive folder.

Speed

The speed is very good, I measured: read speed 28.8 MB/s, write speed: 47.4 MB/s !

Trash

If you delete files and folder, they will be transferred to the Onedrive Recycle bin, but you cannot see them in the mount. Goto this URL https://ugentbe-my.sharepoint.com/ to empty your recycle bin. df -h shows the correct result!
