Another OneDrive Linux client
Consider to mention another client for Linux in readme Maybe you can check other features from each projects and improve the functionality
It is supported for many years and used by a lot of users
https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive
But it doesn't have "Support for Windows 'On-Demand' functionality so file is only downloaded when accessed locally"
But it doesn't have "Support for Windows 'On-Demand' functionality so file is only downloaded when accessed locally"
But what 'onedrive' does have is:
- Support for Client Side Filtering rules so you only sync what you need / have on your disk the data that you need ...
- Which at this point is highly similar to 'on-demand' usage and you opening the file, having it download and then use it
- Support for SharePoint, Shared Folders - all of which is missing here
- An open feature request for 'on-demand' capability - https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/issues/757
- Re-write to support function is complete
- Roadmap to working on the 'on-demand' feature: 2576 -> 2360 -> 757
757 was opened 6 yrs ago :(
That’s true — and I understand the frustration. Just to provide some perspective:
- This is an open-source project
- I'm the main developer and maintainer
- It's not my full-time job, and I contribute as time allows
I did make an attempt at this in 2020, but it became clear that supporting the requested feature would require a significant architectural change. That sort of rework isn't trivial and needs to be carefully planned and prioritised among other bug fixes, enhancements, and user needs.
Progress in open source can sometimes be slow — not for lack of interest, but because it competes with real-world constraints. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
