Many users rely on OneDrive as their primary cloud storage. Without integration, they resort to complex, manual workarounds, which are frustrating and inefficient. This impacts both paying customers and non-profits using free storage through licensing appeals. Offering OneDrive sync would simplify workflows and increase the value of TrueNAS for these users.
Impact
(How is this feature going to impact all TrueNAS users? What are the benefits and advantages? Are there disadvantages?)
The lack of OneDrive cloud sync in TrueNAS limits its appeal and forces users to seek alternative methods to integrate their storage, which can be inefficient and cumbersome.
User Story
(Please give a short description on how you envision some user taking advantage of this feature, what are the steps a user will follow to accomplish it)
A user logs into TrueNAS and seamlessly connects their OneDrive account through an integrated sync feature. After authentication, they can easily select specific files or folders from their OneDrive storage to sync with TrueNAS.
Whenever changes are made to the synced files whether through the cloud or locally, those updates are automatically reflected in real-time. This allows the user to manage their work effortlessly, whether they are a professional collaborating on projects or a non-profit managing essential documents.
No manual interventions or complex methods are needed, saving time and improving productivity.
This is interesting. Im fairly sure this is an option in CORE (not that I ever used it) but looking at current SCLAE I canāt see it listed only to sync a Microsoft Blob among other non-microsoft sync options.
Note that it requires temporarily accepting an incoming connection from the Internet to allow a token to be passed from MS, though.
OneDrive integration is phenomenally complex, though, under the hood. Even MSās own clients are buggy and unreliable in my experience (particularly when mixing with non-MS file systems and naming conventions/restrictions), so Iād manage your expectations as to how well this would work, particularly with regards to any use of a phrase like āin real timeā
That said, whatās the benefit of allowing a user to see their OneDrive files on a NAS, as opposed to ālocallyā within the OneDrive client on their PC or Mac? Surely the point of using cloud storage is to need local storage?
Hi, say until when did TrueNAS support OneDrive? Because in TrueNAS-Core I had no problem with OneDrive Cloud Sync until about 2 weeks ago. Since then the task keeps failing even though the dry-run is successfullā¦
Hello, @william I talked to one of the developers of the OneDrive-sdk-python, he said that they might have to archive the repository since it hasnāt been updated for over 8 years. However they have a much better, and up to date SDK for all of Microsoft Graph, which includes OneDrive APIs.
This looks useful. I suspect a fair number of us have access to OneDrive storage bundled with some Microsoft 365 SKU that weāre not using. I know I do.
Does anyone know if the nuts-and-bolts remain bifurcated across enterprise Office 365 OneDrive vs retail/consumer? Or are they on the same page these days? The MS client was always so problematic that I gave up on both years ago.
ā¦in coding ( and this is my understanding ), pressure ā¦pushes. Votes are pressure.
How the team feels about it and how troublesome is to maintain is a greater factor.
Then thereās the money team ( as I call it ) and that has reasons beyond technical logic.
To answer a question I wasnāt asked, Iād say the more the merrier.
But to be honest, donāt go into a promotional campaign as it may serve no purpose. Like in āabandon all hope ye who enter hereā kind of situation.
PS: I aim to avoid the heartache that comes from hopes that donāt come soon enough. Iāve got kind of bitter from those.
Hey, did you solve the problem with one drive? I am facing the same issueā¦ everything looks fine from a configuration point of view but it does not work anymore.
