Hi All,

Apparently OneDrive, the Microsoft cloud storage, is using the webdav 
protocol.  However, to effect authentication OneDrive uses redirection to a 
different URL, which breaks Linux connections to it.  This page explains 
someone's attempts using the previous MS offering of SkyDrive:

I've tried the suggestions using both cadaver and dolphin.  Both failed to 
connect.  I have not used net-fs/davfs2 to mount OneDrive, but I read in the 
above link that davfs2 does not handle redirects either.

Would you know of some trick to allow me to access onedrive from Linux?  Read 
only access will do for the use case I have in mind, which is to browse and 
download some files from a customer's shared folder.


PS. I've also found 'onedrive-d' a python script/program, which does not seem 
to be available in portage, or any overlays.  Do you know if there's an ebuild 
somewhere for it?  However, I think that this is for synch'ing a local fs to 
OneDrive - something I am not necessarily interested in.
