I get a terabyte free with onedrive, because of the office subscription. I wish I had a good way to utilize it on Linux.

Use a flow to replicate your onedrive in Azure Files, then mount it to your Linux box: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/2f90b5d3-029b-4e2e-ad37-1c0fe6d187fe/when-a-file-is-uploaded-to-onedrive-copy-it-to-azure-storage-container/ https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/... AND https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-linux https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage...

Out of curiosity, what happens if you office subscription ends? Obviously you won't be able to sync but does onedrive have some sort of grace period to let you download your stuff and at what point would it go and completely delete your data?

  Office stops working if your subscription ends so most likely they will renew their subscription.

  I believe the modus operandi for most personal cloud storage providers here is to make the entire dataset read- and delete-only until the user gets enough storage space (by upgrading or deleting files) to be able to write/upload again. That, plus some incessant push messages to your client devices about upgrading, which is annoying but expected.

  If it's the business version, you have full access for 30 days, admins have access for 90 days, then it's deprovisioned (source: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-happens-to-my-data-and-access-when-my-Office-365-for-business-subscription-ends-4436582f-211a-45ec-b72e-33647f97d8a3 https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-happens-to-my-...) On the O365 Personal/Home or direct OneDrive plans, it looks like your data remains available but read-only for 3 months, then your account is "frozen." You can do a one-time 30-day "unfreeze" to get access to download/delete (to get under your quota), then it gets "frozen" again. Eventually it'll be deleted, but I don't see documentation for how long that takes.
