OneDrive Uploader

Command line (CLI) utility for uploading files to Microsoft OneDrive using the Microsoft Graph REST API.

Features

• Upload, download and delete files
• Create and delete directories
• List folder contents
• Get information (including SHA1 and SHA256 hashes) for drive items
• Supports "special folders" (such as App Folder / App Root)
• Pre-compiled binaries on Linux, MacOS and Windows

Getting started

1. Create an Azure Application

OneDrive Uploader requires an application to be registered with Microsoft. This application is not exposed anywhere. It just serves as a means to authenticate access to your OneDrive with specified permissions.

1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.
2. Navigate to "App registrations".
3. Create a new application with supported account type "Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts (e.g. Skype, Xbox)" and the following Web redirect URL: http://localhost:53682/
4. Copy the Application (client) ID.
5. Navigate to "Certificates & secrets", create a new Client secret and copy the Secret Value (not the ID).
6. Navigate to "API permissions", click "Add permission", choose "Microsoft Graph", select "Delegated". Then search and add the required permissions:
   1. Access to App Folder only: Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder, offline_access, User.Read
   2. Access to entire OneDrive: Files.Read, Files.ReadWrite, Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All, offline_access, User.Read

2. Download the binary

Download the appropriate binary for your operating system and architecture from the Releases page and make it executable.

You can use the following one-liner to perform the necessary steps on Linux and MacOS:

curl -s -L https://git.io/JRie0 | bash

On MacOS with Homebrew installed:

brew install virtualzone/tap/onedrive-uploader

If you want to build the binaries from source instead, clone the repository and execute make. This requires Go to be installed.

git clone https://github.com/virtualzone/onedrive-uploader.git
cd onedrive-uploader
make

3. Configuration & Login

Run the following command to create the configuration file:

onedrive-uploader config

After that, execute the following command to log in with your OneDrive account:

onedrive-uploader login

For headless machines you must perform the actual login on a computer with a web browser. To do this, you can...

• ...either run the config and login commands on another computer with a web browser and then copy the config.json to the headless computer after having logged in
• ...or forward port 53682 from your computer with a web brower to your headless machine, e.g. by using SSH: ssh -L 53682:headless_ip:53682 user@headless_ip
• ...or use the curl command with fallback url

The configuration file is stored in the following directory (if not specified otherwise using the -c parameter):

• Linux: ${HOME}/.config/onedrive-uploader
• MacOS: ${HOME}/Library/Application Support/onedrive-uploader
• Windows: ${APPDATA}/onedrive-uploader

Commands and example usage

Create a new remote directory named "test":

onedrive-uploader mkdir test

Create a new remote directory named "test2" below the "test" folder:

onedrive-uploader mkdir test/test2

List contents of the "test" folder:

onedrive-uploader ls test

Upload local file "image.jpg" to the "test" folder:

onedrive-uploader upload /tmp/image.jpg test

Download "notes.docx" from the root directory:

onedrive-uploader download /notes.docx /tmp

Delete "notes.docx" from the root directory:

onedrive-uploader rm /notes.docx

Get information about file "notes.docx" in folder "test":

onedrive-uploader info /test/notes.docx

Get SHA1 hash for file "notes.docx" in folder "test":

onedrive-uploader sha1 /test/notes.docx

Get SHA256 hash for file "notes.docx" in folder "test":

onedrive-uploader sha256 /test/notes.docx

Print help and available commands:

onedrive-uploader help

Use config file at a specific path:

onedrive-uploader -c /path/to/config.json mkdir test

Important note for users of version < 0.6

The configuration file format and path has changed as of version 0.6.

Please run the following command to migrate your existing configuration file to the new file format and location after having installed the latest version of OneDrive Uploader:

onedrive-uploader migrate /path/to/existing/config.json

You can safely delete your existing config.json and secret.json files after the migration has been performed successfully.
