Mounting OneDrive Shared Folder

zackmtaylor · April 29, 2022, 3:37pm

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I am trying to mount my school account OneDrive to my laptop. I am successfully able to mount all the folders besides one that is not owned by me but rather shared with me. I have read to use a webdav config for this although am getting an odd issue when following tutorials such as this one.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

    ~  rclone version                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      ✔  5s 

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

I am attempting to sync a OneDrive shared folder.

The command you were trying to run (eg `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`)

   ~  rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount "app": ~/AndroidApp                                                                                                                                                                                                               ✔  

You want to use:

rclone mount app: ~/AndroidApp --vfs-cache-mode writes

I'd not use "~" myself as I like full paths rather than relative stuff.

zackmtaylor · April 29, 2022, 3:48pm

This seems to result in the same vague error.

    ~  rclone mount app: /home/zack/AndroidApp --vfs-cache-mode writes                                                                                                                                                                                                        ✔  

Run

rclone about app: -vvv

    ~  rclone about app: -vvv                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     ✔

Shared folders are not supported in rclone:

Implement OneDrive shared with me · Issue #4062 · rclone/rclone (github.com)

You'd follow that issue to see how it progresses.

I am trying to mount the specific shared folder separately as mentioned here:

bug Remote: One Drive

I just updated to the latest beta of rclone ( v1.43-036-g89be5cad-beta) on what …Microsoft Graph code was merged into v 1.43, however on my personal OneDrive doing an rclone lsd on a Shared Folder only works on the first level of directories, example: `rclone lsd myonedrive:sharedfolder1/`. Trying a `rclone lsd myonedrive:sharedfolder1/sharedfolder2/` delivers this error: ``` 2018/09/05 00:32:31 ERROR : : error listing: directory not found 2018/09/05 00:32:31 Failed to lsd: directory not found. ``` I did checked and sharedfolder2 in fact exists in the directory tree (this works well ok on non-shared folders). The same happens when trying to copy files from `myonedrive:sharedfolder1/sharedfolder2/` to my local instance as it says ``` 2018/09/05 00:34:31 ERROR : : error listing: directory not found 2018/09/05 00:34:31 Failed to lsd: directory not found ``` Any ideas on why listing directories is not working properly on shared folders? This may be related to what is described here [https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-is-not-working-outside-of-the-root-of-crypt-remote/6697/2](url) for crypt folders.

This workaround seemed to work although results in an odd error message for me.

Those comments are from 2019 so not sure as it may or may not work. You could always ask in the issue.

zackmtaylor · April 29, 2022, 4:29pm

I'll pursue help there if I can't get it to work. Thanks for your help. Marking your response with the Github issue as the solution.
