You Can Now Use OneDrive in Linux Natively Thanks to Insync
OneDrive is a cloud storage service from Microsoft and it provides 5 GB of free storage to every user. This is integrated with Microsoft account and if you use Windows, you are have OneDrive preinstalled there.
OneDrive as a desktop application is not available on Linux. You can access your stored files via the web interface but you won’t get that native feel of using the cloud storage in the file manager.
You can use rclone CLI tool to sync OneDrive in Linux but it’s not easy to do and doesn’t give the native desktop application feel.
The good news is that you can now use an unofficial tool that lets you use OneDrive in Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.
Insync is a quite popular premium third-party sync tool when it comes to Google Drive cloud storage management on Linux. We already have a detailed review of Insync with Google Drive support for that matter.
However, recently, Insync 3 was released with OneDrive support. So, in this article, we are going to take a quick look at how OneDrive can be used with it and what’s new in Insync 3.
Non-FOSS Alert
