  • onedrive

    OneDrive Client for Linux

    For OneDrive, you can use OneDriver, it's free, has a gui, and has on-deman file sync. There is also abraunegg's onedrive daemon, but I prefer OneDriver because it's more intuitive (just disable file indexing and the likes, or it'll think you're trying to access all files and downloads them). There's of course the paid option in InSync but as a college student I'd imagine money is tight.

  • OneDriveGUI

    A simple GUI for OneDrive Linux client, with multi-account support.

    There's an excellent onedrive tool for linux in addition to a GUI tool

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • onedriver

    A native Linux filesystem for Microsoft OneDrive

    For OneDrive, you can use OneDriver, it's free, has a gui, and has on-deman file sync.

  • office365-pol

    [OUTDATED] A PlayOnLinux script that utilizes the version of Wine made for CrossOver to run Microsoft 365 Apps / Office 365 without requiring any paid CrossOver components

    For Office, the option currently is either use CrossOver (which is paid, though it can be cheaper with discounts) to install Office or to use a fairly lengthy process to follow the process CrossOver does manually. While I'm currently pinning my hope on Bottles Installer, for now WPS Office mostly works fine as long as you don't work with macros.
