Microsoft has no Linux client. ExpanDrive does.

Microsoft ships OneDrive on Windows and Mac. Linux is unsupported — no installer, no sync client, no first-class mount. ExpanDrive turns any OneDrive (Personal, Business, Microsoft 365) into a native drive on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS — streamed on demand, browser-driven OAuth, every Linux app sees it.

— What you get

OneDrive on Linux — without the kludges.

Native .deb and .rpm packages.

Signed apt and yum repositories for automatic updates. Install via your package manager on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, AlmaLinux. No tarballs, no Wine, no Mono runtime.

Personal, Business, and Microsoft 365.

Every OneDrive account type works through Microsoft's OAuth flow. Mount your personal Microsoft account next to your work tenant's OneDrive for Business, each as its own labeled mount.

Stream on demand.

No multi-gigabyte local mirror. ExpanDrive streams files when you open them and caches what you actually use. Pin folders for offline access when you need them.

Modern auth + Conditional Access.

Microsoft Graph API and modern auth. Your tenant's Conditional Access policies, MFA requirements, and device-compliance rules apply to ExpanDrive the same as they apply to the official OneDrive client.

— vs the Linux alternatives

Where the other options break down.

Linux OneDrive access has been a series of disappointments — community sync forks, rclone, headless setups. Here's where ExpanDrive fits.

OneDrive Free Client (abraunegg) is volunteer-maintained. A solid open-source sync client, but it’s a sync model — full local mirror, manual conflict resolution, no real mount. Useful for some workloads; not the same as ExpanDrive’s on-demand drive.
rclone is CLI-first. Powerful for batch transfers and scripts. Not a daily desktop mount — no GUI, no cache management, no integration with file managers, no offline pinning.
Microsoft offers nothing. No official Linux build, no community-supported fork from Redmond, no Linux roadmap. The official position is "use the web." ExpanDrive is the answer when "use the web" isn’t enough.
WSL doesn’t solve it. Running the Windows OneDrive client under WSL is the kind of suggestion that surfaces on forums and stops working two months later. Native Linux beats running a Windows binary in a translation layer.

— Common questions

Common questions about OneDrive on Linux.

Personal vs. Business, tenant policies, distros, and the question of whether this works with your work's Microsoft 365 setup.

Yes. ExpanDrive uses Microsoft Graph and modern auth, so OneDrive for Business and Microsoft 365 OneDrive both work the same way as personal OneDrive — sign in with your work account, your tenant's policies apply, your files mount.

Need a File Orchestration Platform, not just a drive?

The cloud connectors mounting your drive on macOS, Windows, and Linux are the same ones that run on Files.com's high-performance cloud File Orchestration Platform — used by 4,000+ businesses including Equifax, Rag & Bone, Cognizant, and Michelin. If you need automations, audit logs, SFTP / AS2 servers, or compliance reporting on top of your file estate, that lives there.
