onedrived is a client program for Microsoft OneDrive
for Linux. It enables you to sync local directories with remote OneDrive
repositories (a.k.a., "Drive") of one or more OneDrive Personal account
(OneDrive for Business accounts are not yet supported. See #1).
The program is written in Python3, and uses official OneDrive Python SDK to communicate with OneDrive server, Keyring to securely store account credentials, and Linux inotify API to monitor file system changes.
IN DEVELOPMENT. USE WITH CAUTION.
To install onedrived, install all pre-requisite packages, make sure old
versions of onedrived are uninstalled, and lastly install onedrived.
Each of those steps will be addressed in following subsections.
The guide that follows will assume an environment with Python3 interpreter installed. To check the version of your Python3 interpreter, run command
$ python3 --version
Python 3.5.2If python3 command is not found, or its version is below 3.3, please
install the latest python3 package. For example, on Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install python3It's strongly suggested that you
use the latest PIP
to manage Python package dependencies. To get the latest pip from source,
run command
# Download pip installation script from official site using wget.
$ wget -O- https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3
# Upgrade the components (e.g., setuptools) to latest version.
$ sudo pip3 install -U pip setuptoolsThe use of low-level tools and APIs like inotify and keyring introduces
low-level dependencies that need to be installed manually. On Ubuntu the
following packages are needed:
gccpython3-devlibssl-devinotify-toolspython3-dbus(or probablylibdbus-glib-1-dev)
On other distros like Fedora, names of those packages may vary.
Note that keyring, which provides secure local storage for OneDrive
credentials (the leak of which may result in total compromise of your OneDrive
data), may require additional packages (for example, D-Bus or FreeDesktop
Secret Service) depending on your Linux distro and desktop manager. Please
refer to its
installation instructions
for more details. If your environment requires keyring.alt package, make
sure to use the latest version (sudo pip3 install -U keyrings.alt).
To install those dependencies on Ubuntu, use apt-get command:
# Install gcc and other C-level pre-requisites.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev libssl-dev inotify-tools python3-dbusPython-level pre-requisites are listed in requirements.txt and will be
installed automatically when installing onedrived.
If you have old versions of onedrived (also named onedrive-d in the
past) in system, please uninstall them before proceeding. The packages
can be easily removed with pip.
# Remove Python packages of older onedrive-d.
$ sudo pip3 uninstall onedrive_d onedrived
# Remove useless config files.
$ rm -rf ~/.onedrive ~/.onedrivedYou can either install onedrived by pip3 or pull the code and install
manually. Note that you may want to check out this repository regularly to
have the latest version installed, and run the included tests to see whether
onedrived can actually run on your setup.
onedrived is not yet available on PyPI.
To install latest onedrived from source with pip3, run the command below.
Notes:
gitmust be installed on the system.- To install onedrived system-wide (that is, make onedrived program available
to all users in the OS), remove argument
--userfrom the command).
$ pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/xybu/onedrived-dev.gitFirst pull the code from GitHub repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/xybu/onedrived-dev.git
$ cd onedrived-dev
You may want to run the included tests before installing with one of the following commands:
# Use the built-in test driver of Python.
$ python3 ./setup.py test
# Or use py.test if you have it installed.
$ python3 -m pytestThen install onedrived with one of the following command:
# Use pip to install onedrived.
$ pip3 install -e .
# Or use the built-in setuptools package from Python.
$ python3 ./setup.py install --useronedrived exposes two commands -- onedrived and onedrived-pref. The
former is the "synchronizer" and the latter is the "configurator". If you
want to run it directly in code repository without installing the package, in
the following example commands replace onedrived with
python3 -m onedrived.od_main and replace onedrived-pref with
python3 -m onedrived.od_pref.
Before running onedrived for the first time, or whenever you need to change
the configurations, you will need to use onedrived-pref command. The
subsections that follow introduces the basic usage scenarios. For more usage
scenarios, refer to "More Usages" section.
To read the complete usage of onedrived-pref, use argument --help:
$ onedrived-pref --help
Usage: od_pref.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
--version Show the version and exit.
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
account Add new OneDrive account to onedrived, list all existing ones, or
remove some.
config Modify config (e.g., proxies, intervals) for current user.
drive List all remote OneDrive repositories (Drives) of linked accounts,
add new Drives to sync, edit configurations of existing Drives, or
remove a Drive from local list.Operations related to configuring accounts can be listed by command
onedrived-pref account
$ onedrived-pref account --help
Usage: od_pref.py account [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Options:
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
add Add a new OneDrive account to onedrived.
del De-authorize and delete an existing account from onedrived.
list List all linked accounts.To add an OneDrive account to onedrived, you will need command
onedrived-pref account add. Help message for this command is as follows:
$ onedrived-pref account add --help
Usage: od_pref.py account add [OPTIONS]
Options:
-u, --get-auth-url If set, print the authentication URL and exit.
-c, --code TEXT Skip interactions and try authenticating with the code
directly.
-b, --for-business If set, add an OneDrive for Business account.
-h, --help Show this message and exit.More specifically, the CLI offers two modes to add an account -- interactive mode, in which the CLI guides you step by step, and command mode, in which you provide the information from command line arguments.
In interactive mode, the program will provide you with an URL to visit. Open
this URL with a web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox), sign in with your
Microsoft Account and authorize onedrived to access your OneDrive data. The
web page will eventually land to a blank page whose URL starts with
"https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf". Paste this URL
(a.k.a., callback URL) back to the program.
Note that onedrived needs your basic account information (e.g., email
address) to distinguish different accounts (otherwise OneDrive returns
"tokens" from which you cannot tell which account they stand for).
$ onedrived-pref account add
NOTE: To better manage your OneDrive accounts, onedrived needs permission to access your account info (e.g., email
address to distinguish different accounts) and read/write your OneDrive files.
Paste this URL into your browser to sign in and authorize onedrived:
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?response_type=code&scope=wl.signin+wl.emails+wl.offline_access+
onedrive.readwrite&client_id=000000004010C916&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.live.com%2Foauth20_desktop.srf
The authentication web page will finish with a blank page whose URL starts with
"https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf". Paste this URL here.
Paste URL here: https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?code=<some_code_here>&lc=1033
Successfully authorized onedrived.
Successfully added account for Xiangyu Bu ([email protected], <account_id_token>)!
All OneDrive accounts associated with user "xb":
# Account ID Owner Name Email Address
--- ------------------ ------------ ---------------
0 <account_id_token> Xiangyu Bu [email protected]Instead of giving the sign-in URL and then prompting for the callback URL, use the following command to get the sign-in URL:
$ onedrived-pref account add --get-auth-url
NOTE: To better manage your OneDrive accounts, onedrived needs permission to access your account info (e.g., email
address to distinguish different accounts) and read/write your OneDrive files.
Paste this URL into your browser to sign in and authorize onedrived:
https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?response_type=code&client_id=000000004010C916&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2F
login.live.com%2Foauth20_desktop.srf&scope=wl.signin+wl.emails+wl.offline_access+onedrive.readwriteVisit the URL and do the same steps as interactive mode until you get the
blank page. Copy the URL and copy the code parameter from the URL. For
example, in URL
https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf?code=<some_code_here>&lc=1033,
find the part ?code=<some_code_here>& and the code is the part
<some_code_here>.
Use command onedrived-pref account add --code <some_code_here>, where
<some_code_here> is the code, to add your account.
After you authorize onedrived to access your OneDrive data, you are now able
to add Drives. Each OneDrive account has one or more Drive associated, and
onedrived allows you to choose which Drive to sync. Similar to the step of
authorizing onedrived, the CLI provides both interactive mode and command
mode.
$ onedrived-pref drive set
Reading drives information from OneDrive server...
All available Drives of authorized accounts:
# Account Email Drive ID Type Quota Status
--- --------------- ---------------- -------- --------------------------- --------
0 <some_email> <some_drive_id> personal 5.3 GB Used / 33.0 GB Total active
Please enter row number of the Drive to add or modify (CTRL+C to abort): 0
Going to add/edit Drive "<some_drive_id>" of account "<some_email>"...
Enter the directory path to sync with this Drive [/home/xb/OneDrive]:
Syncing with directory "/home/xb/OneDrive"? [y/N]: y
Enter the path to ignore file for this Drive [/home/xb/.config/onedrived/ignore_v2.txt]:
Successfully configured Drive <some_drive_id> of account <some_email> (<some_user_id>):

Ignore file path: /home/xb/.config/onedrived/ignore_v2.txtIf you have more than one account authorized, all drives of all authorized accounts will appear in the table.
Please find the available command-line arguments from help message using
command onedrived-pref drive set --help.
For now, refer to issue #19. More details TBA.
Download and install ngrok.
By default, onedrived will look for ngrok binary from PATH. To specify
path to the binary manually, set up environment variable NGROK when running
onedrived. For example, NGROK=~/utils/ngrok onedrived start --debug.
To use a custom config file for ngrok, set environment variable
NGROK_CONFIG_FILE to path of your desired config file. Note that onedrived
will create a HTTPS tunnel automatically and there is no need to specify
tunnels. The purpose of using a custom ngrok config file should be to adjust
resource usage, or link ngrok process with your paid ngrok account. The
default ngrok config file shipped with onedrived turns off terminal output
of ngrok and disables inspection database.
TBA. Not applicable to most end-user machines.
Use argument --debug so that onedrived runs in debug mode, using
debug-level log verbosity and printing log to stderr.
onedrived start --debugTo stop onedrived process which is running in debug mode, send SIGINT to
the process or hitting CTRL+C if it runs in a terminal.
It's suggested that you set up a log file before running in daemon mode:
$ onedrived-pref config set logfile_path PATH_TO_SOME_WRITABLE_FILE
To start the program as daemon,
onedrived startTo stop the daemon,
onedrived stopor send SIGTERM to the process.
onedrived follows behavior of standard Python library function
getproxies()
to read proxies information from the OS. That is, run the command with
environment variable HTTP_PROXY (or http_proxy) to set up a HTTP proxy, and
variable HTTPS_PROXY (or https_proxy) to set up a HTTPS proxy. For example,
$ HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:pass@host:port/some_path onedrived start --debugA HTTPS proxy must have a verifiable SSL certificate.
$ onedrived-pref drive del
Drives that have been set up:
#0 - Drive "<some_drive_id_here>":
Account: <some_account_email> (<some_user_id_here>)
Local root: /home/xb/OneDrive
Ignore file: /home/xb/.config/onedrived/ignore_v2.txt
Please enter the # number of the Drive to delete (CTRL+C to abort): 0
Continue to delete Drive "<some_drive_id_here>" (its local directory will NOT be deleted)? [y/N]: y
Successfully deleted Drive "<some_drive_id_here>" from onedrived.The command-mode equivalent is:
onedrived-pref drive del --drive-id <some_drive_id_here> [--yes]If argument --yes is used, the specified Drive, if already added, will be
deleted without confirmation.
Use pip3 to uninstall onedrived from system:
$ pip3 uninstall onedrivedIf --user argument was not used when installing (that is, onedrived was
installed as a system-level package), you will need root permission to run
the command above.
