   1. rclone should already be installed on all ECN supported linux hosts.
   2. If it is not submit a support request
2. Add a new OneDrive remote to rclone
   1. run rclone config
      1. any existing remotes will be listed along with a list of other actions
      2. enter n to create a new remote
      3. you will be prompted for the name of the new remote, onedrive should work
      4. Now the type of storage to configure is chosen
         1. Look through the list for the number next to "Microsoft OneDrive"
         2. enter that number and hit enter
         3. You can enter without entering any information for the next two options
            1. There is no need to enter the Microsoft App Client ID or Secret
         4. Say n (no) to edit advanced config
         5. For autoconfig most folks can select y (yes)
         6. This should open a tab in your default browser.
            1. This is asking you to give rclone access to your OneDrive account. Allow it and close the tab.
         7. Enter the account type, 1 (one, or whatever OneDrive Personal or Business)
         8. You will then say accounts listed. The first choice, 0 (zero, typically) is what you want to enter
         9. You should see something like below, enter y (yes)
            

            Found drive 'root' of type 'personal', URL: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=0f119f51f000000
            Is that okay?
            y) Yes
            n) No
            y/n> y

         10. Then something like below is shown (tokens and other info for your OneDrive configuration):
             

             [onedrive]
             type = onedrive
             token = {"access_token":"GoKSt5YMioiuCWX1KOuo8QT0Fwy+Y6ZeX7M","token_type":"bearer","refresh_token":"7OMvoEAO3l*8BbhS2AMxpTbJW0Y6np9cdql!bwEdYAhJ6XBG0tnR0UK","expiry":"2018-07-26T15:15:13.696368366+03:00"}
             drive_id = f119f51f0a00000
             drive_type = personal
             --------------------
             y) Yes this is OK
             e) Edit this remote
             d) Delete this remote
             y/e/d> y

         11. Finally enter q (quit) to exit rclone
3. Create folder, OneDrive works
   1. This folder needs to be on a file system that is "local" to the host you are on
4. Mount OneDrive
   

   rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount onedrive: ./OneDrive

   
   
   1. If you get an error about write access" or problems with permissions then submit a support request.
5. Now the folder show act like a folder container your OneDrive contents.
6. When you are done you can Ctrl-C in the terminal/window you ran the rclone command to unmount OneDrive
