You can mount your OneDrive on your filesystem with rclone. Once mounted, it works just like a normal directory, except with some latency. You can mount it to multiple devices too.

If you don't like sharing your files to Microsoft in plaintext, you can also create encrypted remote within Microsoft remote. With both set up, files will appear in plaintext on your desktop's filesystem, but will be encrypted on OneDrive.
I've just tried reading through your links, but I'm going to have to come back with a dictionary or two ๐
If I'm understanding it correctly, that leaves the files on the Onedrive servers, but lets me access them as if they're on my computer? That would be handy, but not great if I haven't got an internet connection.
I'll do some more reading, thanks :)
Yes, it makes them behave just like normal files. Internet connection is necessary unfortunately, and you can't do the "edit now, upload later" kind of thing.
Thanks for clarifying :)
That's a shame. It would be great at home, but no good on the rare occasions when I haven't got a connection.
GNOME has a built in OneDrive integration, and it works well from my experience, one of the reasons I decided to stay on this DE
It acts a an additional directory tho, I'm unsure about your use-case
It probably won't work for me as an additional directory, but I'll have a look into it, thanks :)
I use rclone to create encrypted backups of some important stuff on OneDrive.
I'm just doing my homework on rsync after reading Object's reply :)
If you just wanna use it as a backup, and not access stuff from it directly, it'll be easier to forego rclone_mount and just use rclone directly to backup stuff on a schedule. That's what I do.
Unfortunately it's no good for me. I need direct access, but I have memory issues too, so manually backing up won't work either.
