onedrive_client 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 in beta tests, use with caution!).
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 onedrive_client, install all pre-requisite packages, make sure old
versions of onedrive_client are uninstalled, and lastly install onedrive_client.
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 3.4, 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 setuptoolsTo run on Raspbery PI 3, is necessary add more packages.
$ sudo apt-get install python3 build-essential python3-dev libssl-dev inotify-tools python3-dbus libffi-dev dbus-devel libdbus-glib-1-dev -y
$ sudo pip3 install pydbusThe 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 install build-essential python3-dev libssl-dev inotify-tools python3-dbus libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev
# Install keyring to store the passwords
$ sudo apt install gnome-keyring
$ eval `gnome-keyring-daemon`
$ eval `dbus-launch`
# install ngrok from own website (ngrok.com) and install in /usr/local/bin
# Don't install ngrok with sudo apt-get install ngrok-client, it does not install the 'good' ngrok!Python-level pre-requisites are listed in requirements.txt and will be
installed automatically when installing onedrive_client.
If you have old versions of onedrive_client (also named onedrived 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 onedrive_client
# Remove useless config files.
$ rm -rf ~/.onedrived ~/.onedrive_clientFirst pull the code from GitHub repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/derrix060/onedriveClient.git
$ cd onedrive_clientThen install onedrive_client:
$ python3 setup.py installonedrive_client exposes two commands -- onedrive-client and onedrive-client-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 onedrive-client with
python3 -m onedrive_client.od_main and replace onedrive-client-pref with
python3 -m onedrive_client.od_pref.
Before running onedrive_client for the first time, or whenever you need to change
the configurations, you will need to use onedrive-client-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 onedrive-client-pref, use argument --help:
$ onedrive-client-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 onedrive_client, 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
onedrive-client-pref account
$ onedrive-client-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 onedrive_client.
del De-authorize and delete an existing account from onedrive_client.
list List all linked accounts.To add an OneDrive account to onedrive_client, you will need command
onedrive-client-pref account add. Help message for this command is as follows:
$ onedrive-client-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 onedrive_client 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 onedrive_client 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).
$ onedrive-client-pref account add
NOTE: To better manage your OneDrive accounts, onedrive_client 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 onedrive_client:
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 onedrive_client.
Successfully added account for Xiangyu Bu (xybu92@live.com, <account_id_token>)!
All OneDrive accounts associated with user "xb":
# Account ID Owner Name Email Address
--- ------------------ ------------ ---------------
0 <account_id_token> Xiangyu Bu xybu92@live.comBe careful, it's still on beta test. As explained before, the onedrive needs some informations. In case of Business, it needs to use 2 different services, one of them to do the background tasks (add, remove, rename some item) and another one just to get your name and email. That's why you need to authenticate in two different services.
To add a business account, just insert the tag '-b' at end:
$ onedrive-client-pref account add -bAs happen in normal account, you need to click on link showed and copy the entire link (not only the code!!), but as explained before, you need to do this twice (one for each service).
Instead of giving the sign-in URL and then prompting for the callback URL, use the following command to get the sign-in URL:
$ onedrive-client-pref account add --get-auth-url
NOTE: To better manage your OneDrive accounts, onedrive_client 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 onedrive_client:
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 onedrive-client-pref account add --code <some_code_here>, where
<some_code_here> is the code, to add your account.
After you authorize onedrive_client to access your OneDrive data, you are now able
to add Drives. Each OneDrive account has one or more Drive associated, and
onedrive_client allows you to choose which Drive to sync. Similar to the step of
authorizing onedrive_client, the CLI provides both interactive mode and command
mode.
$ onedrive-client-pref drive set
Reading drives information from OneDrive server...
All available Drives of authorized accounts:
# Account Email Drive ID Type Quota Status

Please find the available command-line arguments from help message using
command onedrive-client-pref drive set --help.
For now, refer to issue #19. More details TBA.
Download and install ngrok.
By default, onedrive_client will look for ngrok binary from PATH. To specify
path to the binary manually, set up environment variable NGROK when running
onedrive-client. For example, NGROK=~/utils/ngrok onedrive-client 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 onedrive_client
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 onedrive_client turns off terminal output
of ngrok and disables inspection database.
TBA. Not applicable to most end-user machines.
Use argument --debug so that onedrive_client runs in debug mode, using
debug-level log verbosity and printing log to stderr.
onedrive-client start --debugTo stop onedrive_client 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:
$ onedrive-client-pref config set logfile_path PATH_TO_SOME_WRITABLE_FILE
To start the program as daemon,
onedrive-client startTo stop the daemon,
onedrive-client stopor send SIGTERM to the process (Ctrl + C).
onedrive_client 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 onedrive-client start --debugA HTTPS proxy must have a verifiable SSL certificate.
$ onedrive-client-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/onedrive_client/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 onedrive_client.The command-mode equivalent is:
onedrive-client-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 onedrive_client from system:
$ pip3 uninstall onedrive_clientIf --user argument was not used when installing (that is, onedrive_client was
installed as a system-level package), you will need root permission to run
the command above.
