Editor to share with you how to use Insync in Linux native use of OneDrive, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

OneDrive is a Microsoft cloud storage service that provides every user with free storage space for 5GB. It has been integrated with Microsoft accounts, and if you use Windows, you have pre-installed OneDrive in it.

OneDrive cannot be used as a desktop application in Linux. You can access stored files through a web page, but you can't use cloud storage as you do in File Manager.

The good news is that you can now use an unofficial tool that allows you to use OneDrive in Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.

When Insync supports Google Drive on Linux, it becomes a very popular advanced third-party synchronization tool on Linux.

The recently released Insync 3 supports OneDrive. So in this article, we'll look at how to use OneDrive in Insync and its new features.

Non-FOSS warning

Insync 3 is neither open source software nor free to use. You only have a 15-day probationary period to test. If you like it, you can buy it at a lifetime cost of $29.99 per account.
