  I'm not an heavy o365 user but i'm almost happy on Debian KDE with thunderbird 148[0] (email only), teams-for-linux[1] (chat/calendar/whatever), Onedrive[2] and webdav (sharepoint)[3]. Libreoffice/Onlyoffice for documents.

• Everyone hates OneDrive, Microsofts cloud app that steals and deletes files
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Jan 2026

  Yeah I was in the minority that actually defended OneDrive but I'm facing my own issues with it recently. I'm aware of the windows default client behavior but on systems I have the storage on, I modify it to pull down everything. Bad UX on Microsoft's part but it's not related to what appears to be bigger issues under the hood.

  Back in October I had issues with the Linux dlang Onedrive client deleting all the files shared with me. Unlike Microsoft, the developer actually acknowledged there could be a problem and we figured out the cause was new unintended behavior caused by an old config option, really long issue thread for it here: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/issues/3475 (TL:DR it was a very niche situation unlikely to have affected anyone else, I have more concise thoughts on it in the Gentoo bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/964370 )

  So that was really bad, but we were able to restore all the deleted files from her OneDrive web using its recycle bin. That leaves me with the issue I'm facing now. Some of the files which I created and put in the share she shares with me have my ownership but OneDrive doesn't recognize I created it and she can't change the permissions to share back to me. So now I have to figure out how many files are affected here and I guess copy them on her side so the new files get her ownership and share back properly to me.

  I do want to say as well, those files just don't show up at all on my side in OneDrive but they DO show up in my Office apps recent list. It just refuses to let me open them. She sees them though with my ownership and both the web and windows onedrive clients throw errors if she tries to change the permissions. Absolutely maddening.

• Bitwarden SDK relicensed from proprietary to GPLv3

  I use the Strongbox app on iOS [0] and the KeepassXC app my Linux laptop. The passwords.kdbx file sits on my Onedrive, which the Strongbox app can access. On Linux I use a Onedrive client [0] that I use to sync several folders within my home folder. Strongbox supports both Keepass and pwSafe database formats. It also integrates well with iOS, with autofill supported (also supports Yubikey unlock and Apple Watch unlock).

• Winlator: Android app that lets you to run Windows apps with Wine

  here's a hunch assuming you tried the below client:

  https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/1a88d33be3e2c6747...

  try changing that to e.g. the android (or windows) onedrive client's id.

  this trick works for exchange (allowing third-party mail clients).
