Use OneDrive Plugin for multiple O365 account

1st Official Post

    Hi

    Just installed OMV (6.0.24-1) on a Raspberry Pi and installed the OneDrive plugin. After a couple of tries it now works flawlessly, which is great. My laptop now syncs with OneDrive, which in turn replicates the data to OMV, meaning I have a local copy of my Onedrive data just in case.


    However I realised that it can only be setup for one user, which is a little limiting.


    Is there any way that I can set it up for multiple users, so that each user's data is copied in the same way as mine, each to their own folder?. If so I can then set the OMV up so that each user has a separate share which contains a copy of their O365 data.


    Many thanks in advance.

    Truenas Scale has that function and is just now the only reason I still use that.

    So it would be really nice to have that function in OMV.

    I am currently using rclone to backup several onedrive accounts of my family under OMV6.

    I am planning to do a fresh install on omv7 and I would like to configure everything in the GUI so it would be nice to use the onedrive plugin.

    Is it still impossible to configure this plugin for multiple users?

    With OMV + the Onedrive Plugin - that restriction still exists.



    The OneDrive Client for Linux however 100% supports that use case.


    Essentially, do not use the OMV Plugin to achieve your outcome and either:


    * Manually configure the client creating user accounts and systemd services for each of the users

    * Running the client as a Docker container, thus having X number of containers, each with their own configuration + profile

    Thanks, but in that case I think I will just continue using rclone.

    I have enabled home directories in SMB/CIFS and with putty I can run rclone config for each user.

    I only needed to install rclone on a windows computer too to get an authorization token for onedrive that can be used on the headless OMV.

    But rclone guides you through that process.


    In scheduled tasks I run daily as user1:

    rclone sync --log-level ERROR user1onedrive: ~/user1onedrivebackup --exclude /email/**

    and the same as user2, user3 etc.


    That works very good, but it is still commandline UI and I would have liked to do everything in the GUI to be sure I am not messing things up.
