A command line based interface to OneDrive has been installed on HPC cluster servers.  There is some configuration required before you start using the command(s) provided.

1. Create a "onedrive" directory somewhere within your scratch space directory.

   mkdir -p -m 700 /scratch/jc012345/onedrive

   
   

2. Modify your environment by loading the onedrive module. 

   module load onedrive

   
   

3. Authenticate with OneDrive:

   1. Issue the command 

      onedrive

      
      

   2. You should get a response something like: 

      [jc012345@ln01 ~]$ onedrive Authorize this app visiting: https://..... Enter the response uri:

      
      

   3. Copy and paste the URL into a browser (on your desktop/laptop computer) and hit the Enter or Return key to load content.  You will then need to authenticate to OneDrive - for most JCU staff/students SSO (single sign on) should take care of it for you.  Once authentication has been successful, a blank page should be returned (may change in future).  You need to copy the URI/URL that was returned and paste the contents as a response to the Enter the response uri: prompt.  You should receive a message that indicates successful authentication.

4. Now it's time to configure your use of onedrive on HPC.  The following is very similar to a configuration that has been tested by HPC staff for use of OneDrive as an archive for files on HPC.

   mkdir -p ~/.config/onedrive cat <<EOF >~/.config/onedrive sync_dir = "/scratch/jc012345/onedrive" skip_file = "~*|.~*|*.tmp" skip_dotfiles = "true" skip_symlinks = "true" upload_only = "true" no_remote_delete = "true" remove_source_files = "false"EOF
