Best Answer

As @terdon said Onedrive-D is still under development.
Alternatively you can use other cloud storage services.
Here is the instruction on how to install "OneDrive-D":

Step1: Download the program from GitHub.

Step2: Extract the contents of the .zip file and run the installer from “onedrive-d-master.”

For that Press Ctrl+Alt+T and execute:

cd ~/Downloads
ls
unzip onedrive-d-old-future.zip
cd onedrive-d-old-future
./install.sh

Note 1: I used ls command to list files in that folder and to avoid mistakes in file names.SInce there is another new project for same purpose.

Note 2: onedrive-d need python-3. Refer here for prerequisites,but all necessary softwares will be installed ,during installation process.So no need to worry about prerequisites.

Step 3: After installation you will see message like this:

onedrive-d installed successfully.
Please run command `onedrive-pref` to set up the program.

Now open terminal and run: onedrive-pref

(STEP 3/4) Do you want to change the numeric settings? [Y/n] n
