How to set up OneDrive on Ubuntu 16.04LTS?
I tried the guides but a window never popped up prompting me to sign in, so I continued with the command 'onedrive-pref'. That did nothing, so now I have a OneDrive folder and a .onedrive folder.
I checked my OneDrive account online; there was no new files/folders. I'm trying to get it to where I have a folder in my home folder that will sync with OneDrive online.

I've just found suitaible way of accessing and mounting OneDrive in Ubuntu 16.04 with Rclone-Browser
1)
Downlouad the Rclone program here and install it on your system: (the version in the standard Ubuntu repository only works for Onedrive personal edition.)
https://rclone.org/downloads/ or directly from this for Ubuntu 64 bit systems: https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i rclone-current-linux-amd64.deb
2) Rclone-browser
Download the rclonebrowser form here: https://github.com/mmozeiko/RcloneBrowser/releases
or install via a ppa (not yet for ubuntu 18.04)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mmozeiko/rclone-browser
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install rclone-browser
After installing both packages, start rclone-browser from the dash.
select n for new remote and give it any name that suits you. Onedrive would be fine.
Select 18 Onedrive (number can change)
leave blank twice
select personal or business
select Y if you are running a normal desktop system.
Now the browser should open and you can login in your onedrive account
now return to the terminal and conform with Y
press Q to exit and return to the rclone-browser and press the refresh button.
Now you should see your onedrive account and you can open it by double clicking
You are now able to mount it and see it in Nautilus. It is NOT a locally available filesystem. It is still remote. Some programs can read and write to this remote drive, and some don't. A workaround is to open a secon TAB in Nautilus, copy the files you need to the second TAB. Use them from there and copy them back afterwards.
