 Alas, there is no official Linux Onedrive client. But there is a good open source alternative. The recommended one is:
 https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive
+It should be installed on most SISSA linux workstation. To install it on your laptop please see:
+https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md
+To configure it create the file:
+  ~/.config/onedrive/config
+A good file template is here:
+https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abraunegg/onedrive/master/config
+There is one critical parameter, that is
+  sync_dir = "~/OneDrive"
+it is the directory you are going to sync with onedrive, it defaults to ~/OneDrive. It may be a good idea to change this to a directory on the /scratch disk if you plan on downloading lots of data. If all you want is a copy of your documents, choose appropriately, always checking the software documentation. Take care, because a wrong setup might erase your data.
+Then you need to run the client to perform the authentication:
+  onedrive --syncronize
+For more details, see:
+https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/USAGE.md
 It is only CLI, but it has proven fairly stable.
