So, what I've learned this morning is that Microsoft have done everything in their power to ensure that Linux users can't easily access OneDrive.
WinApps: Tried sharing the OneDrive folder over SMB so that the WinVM could share with my host PC. I can read like a champ, but not write.
WinApps: Tried mounting ~/OneDrive in the VM then setting OneDrive up in that folder. Nope, MS won't allow OneDrive to be setup on a shared drive.
PWA: Nope. Can't set up a web app. As far as I can tell, MS don't provide a manifest.json for the OneDrive site, so the FireFox plugin won't work.
Syncthing: Straight up fails to sync the actual OneDrive folder, but *can* sync a sub folder.
Website: Does work, but means having to work in a website.
*sigh*
Have I ever expressed how much I hate Microsoft?

Y'know, having spent most of the day trying to figure out the best way to get MS365 to integrate into my current setup, and having just been told that yeah, I'm going to be shunted across onto a new Windows machine, I've just hit a wall. I don't care any more. If there's shit I have to do differently on Windows, then I'll have to work out how or just not bother. It's not worth me being this anxious about.
