Access Microsoft Onedrive in Linux

Onedrive is a personal cloud storage from Microsoft (similar to Google Drive or Dropbox). It gave you fair amount of space to put your (un)important stuff on-line and have your mobile device access it later on.
Based on these instructions I'm able to connect to Microsoft Onedrive from Linux Mint 17 using onedrive-d . I use them with slight modifications as follow,
  1. The first step to installing onedrive-d is to open a terminal window and clone the source code from git using the following command:
    git clone https://github.com/xybu92/onedrive-d.git
  2. If you don’t have “git” installed, you can install it with the command:
    sudo apt-get install git
  3. Now change directory into the onedrive-d folder:
    cd onedrive-d
  4. Run the installation script:
    sudo ./install.sh
  5. After installation you should run:
    sudo onedrive-pref
  6. Answer with default values. In the end you have ~/OneDrive folder (at your home folder)
  7. To activate run:
    sudo onedrive-d start
Now you can access Onedrive as your local folder
