I'm looking for a reliable way to mount SharePoint for Business and OneDrive folders on a Linux system. I'm not after any half-baked solutions—something that is officially supported or widely recognized is a must. I'm aware that Microsoft doesn't provide an official client, so I'd love to hear if anyone has found a solid workaround or method for this.

There are several ways to access OneDrive on Linux or Unix-like systems:
1. **OneDrive Client for Linux** (check it out on GitHub) - It's an open-source sync client that supports both personal and business accounts, and even SharePoint! You can filter what to sync and even set it up to run in Docker.
2. **Onedriver** - This one gives you on-demand functionality but currently doesn't support SharePoint.
3. **Rclone** - This is a great tool for one-way sync, but has some limitations with SharePoint.
4. **Non-free clients** like Insync or ExpanDrive can work but come with a cost.
5. Simplest option? Just use your web browser to access OneDrive directly.
Out of these, the OneDrive Client for Linux is probably the best bet!
Rclone has been the best option for me so far. If you're using Ubuntu, it can even be integrated through the settings app, making it pretty seamless. Definitely worth a try!
Honestly, OneDrive on Linux is iffy at best. I’ve tried various methods and they all have their issues. I’ve even thought about setting up a caching system for SharePoint on our Linux wiki to keep local copies updated without pretending it's a writable filesystem like OneDrive professes to be. Just know that relying too much on OneDrive can lead to regret—it’s not the most reliable solution out there.
You can use InSync to mount SharePoint and OneDrive, but I think you might need additional licensing specifically for SharePoint, not sure if that's still the case. It’s worth checking out as a potential option!
