OneDrive using rclone

Installing Zorin OS
1

I am trying to get OneDrive going in Zorin. I am using rclone, and I can access the files and folders, but I am getting errors. I cannot open any files.

See my post in https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=424401

I have tried to install the downloaded file, but I can't get it to work.

~/Downloads$ sudo nala install libmsgraph-0-1_0.2.3-1_amd64.deb 
libmsgraph-0-1
└── Depends:
    └── libglib2.0-0t64 (>= 2.79.0) but it isn't in the cache

LibMSgraph

I have downloaded the deb file, but cannot install it in Zorin.

I have tried this before, probably in Ubuntu, and it worked, but not in Zorin. I am trying to get OneDrive going, but it's not working.

This package is for Ubuntu 24.10, but Zorin OS 17 is based on Ubuntu 22.04, so it doesn't have the necessary dependencies to install it. It unfortunately doesn't seem to have a lower version that you can use, at least none that I could find, maybe it's a fairly recent project?

Yes, but I am using Zorin 17.2, which is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS according to Zorin 17.2.
In this page it says

Zorin OS 17.2 is now powered by the same version of the Linux kernel as in the latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

My issue is that I have some Excel spreadsheets that I update daily and they are stored in OneDrive so that I can access them from a variety of devices.
I can access OneDrive successfully from Linux Mint 22 and Ubuntu successfully, but it is not working yet from Zorin. I had thought it was going to work, so I am a bit disappointed.

It states that it is powered by the same Kernel as the version used in Ubuntu 24.04.
Zorin OS 17 is based on Ubuntu 22.04.

Many of us have pointed out that this statement is misleading. In fact, we confronted this issue on Zorin OS 16 when FOSS articles quoted it claiming that Zorin OS 16 was based on 22.04 when it was, in fact, based on Ubuntu 20.04.

We confronted this again with Zorin OS 17, when the Zoringroup repeated this same mistake and it again created confusion that caused users to download packages incorrectly.

However, the ZorinGroup has repeatedly closed its ears to any feedback on this issue and has stayed the course, in spite of how such misleading wording creates real and present confusion for Zorin OS users.

And I cut the ZorinGroup Zero slack on this. They know better - they choose this.

I couldn't find reference to Zorin in this github.

It should work, but I've only tried it on Zorin OS 16 (prior version, based on Ubuntu 20.04). It seems this has been kept up to date, so I don't see why it wouldn't work still.

Take a look at this thread and see also the projects mentioned at the end by other people, which include a GUI that looks really interesting (but again, haven't tested myself):
