Multi-user systems and two onedrives for a user

[jhdore]

Slightly related-but-not questions, which I can't figure out because I am probably confusing myself. My situation is this:

I have a family of OneDrive users, who all log in to one computer, currently a Kubuntu 24.04 pc. How do I go about setting the users on it to access their own OneDrive accounts?

One of the users has both a Microsoft Family OneDrive account, and also a work OneDrive account. How can this use make use of both accounts at the same time? i.e. map each onedrive account to a different local folder, and sync?

I understand this may already have been covered somewhere and I've just not found it - please direct me accordingly if so!

Thanks

How do I go about setting the users on it to access their own OneDrive accounts?

Login as each user and setup each user - there is nothing special regarding this. Configure each user their own systemd service for background syncing. When you do this correctly:

• Each user will have their own data in their home directory under ~/OneDrive
• Each user will have their own systemd service running to keep things in sync

One of the users has both a Microsoft Family OneDrive account, and also a work OneDrive account. How can this use make use of both accounts at the same time? i.e. map each onedrive account to a different local folder, and sync?

First setup the 'Family' account for the user as per above.

To setup the second account, you need to create a second configuration for that user. Please read:

I have a family of OneDrive users, who all log in to one computer, currently a Kubuntu 24.04 pc.

Please also ensure that you install the client the correct way - do not use the Ubuntu packages. Please install by following these instructions:
