Hey, Fedipeople, has anyone played around with the Linux #onedrive client? How about with od business edition? Any trials and tribulations? Have just tested it out on #LinuxMint 22.2 using youngest's OD account, and it worked flawlessly. I've just started offering free Windows to Linux migrations via #freegle and obviously I need to be able to cover onedrive for data migration, especially when we go live with it at the #RepairCafe ! #endof10

@cybervegan I've been using the #Insync sync client for #googledrive for over a decade now. It has been great. I've had a few hiccups over that decade but nothing too bad and no data loss. I know the Insync client also has a #OneDrive integration.

As for pricing, for personal use, it has a one time payment for life option since you pay by the account that I never felt was too bad.

@hydrian Good to know, thanks, but as this is for a free service I'm offering, I can't recommend paid-for software to clients. As far as I can see, the source code is not available either, unless you have a link?

@cybervegan It isn't #opensource unfortunately. Sometimes you have to #bitethebullet and use software that isn't 100% what you want for user acceptance.

I'm very pro open source. None of the available options for syncing would have passed my wife's user acceptance or been a nightmare to support. I still believe #insync is still the best in breed #googledrive client compared to other sync clients over the years.

@cybervegan Obviously, you don't want to foot the bill for #insync. But informing your customers of good premium software is invaluable if the free/open-source options don't fit their needs. There are a lot of crap vendors out there, often just repackaging already open source software.
