Being worked + tested…
That’s just great!
Happy new year!!!
Cheers, I just made the change myself from Google to OneDrive. More for the money. I would love this option as I am a Linux only user. Funny that I am using M$ but they have a better solution then Google. I would love to test it if you need a tester. I have a couple Google drive paid for. I am excited to hear the new feature added. As for Use, I share files with my company and they have moved to One Drive as well. This would stream line my access to work items that I need when working remote.
Thank you for the continued support to Linux.

First of all, I am not currently using inSync, because I do not store anything on Google Cloud, but I am VERY interested in support for OneDrive, and this is why:
I have an Office 365 subscription active for about 3 years now (1-year keys become extra cheap on black friday). I use this subscription along 6 different outlook.com accounts:
1-Personal Cloud (personal documents, pictures, etc);
2-Coding Learning and Tools (I have basic knowledge about web-dev - and I am working to improve it. Plus, I am learning Docker and Python).
3-Fantasy Cartography works (I draw Fantasy Maps for money using Campaign Cartographer 3 and PaintShop Pro 2019);
4-Installation files backups (I also have access to MS Imagine, so I have many GBs of disk images, softwares, etc - you never know when you will need a server or sql image);
5-Wife’s Personal Cloud;
6-Media Library/Backups (music, movies, comics, ebooks, etc).
This setup gives me 6TB storage space for about US$ 65/year, plus Office 365 (which I almost never use) and six hours of skype calls (one hour per account).
Since some of my software won’t run well (not even through a VM) on Linux, I need to keep at least one Windows install all the time (desktop at home and desktop at work), while I run Linux on my laptop. While I have all that data also stored on external drives, all my computers run on 240GB SSDs, and it is a real pain in the butt not being able to access my cloud on Linux through a GUI interface.
So, basically, my use for OneDrive InSync client would be to access all these 6 accounts on my Linux box, especially because is the one I use most - and, well, I would gladly buy the six licenses just for that purpose.

The things I need are:
Synchronising with linux computers
Synchronising between google drive and onedrive.
Simple Synchronising of OneDrive for Business to Windows PCs without the current link sharing faff.
Can you elaborate on the “link sharing faff”? OneDrive for Biz will be supported 
Sign up for the Insync for OneDrive beta waitlist here:
It’s not available yet, but we’ll email and post here on the forums when the beta is available for download and testing

Yes - if a folder is shared to me I need to go to the website and choose to sync it - there is no way to automatically have shared OneDrive for Business folders appear on my computer. So when I am setting up a small organisation say 4 people I have to visit each SharePoint site and click to sync. Compare to Dropbox or GDrive or OneDrive for Normals and I think it constitutes a faff. If a manager shares you a folder it should be notified and sync with one click or automatically if that’s your choice.
Having to use SharePoint really removes the advantages of OneDrive’s simplicity.

My use case is to sync the Zotero library with my Onedrive institutional account. The rest is normal usage, nothing fancy.
Regarding OneDrive support, I’m curious about how the licensing will be handled, as currently synchronization is restricted to a single Google account. I don’t know if this has already been decided, or can’t be announced yet, but I’d like to know about this.

My use case will be to do a selective sync using OneDrive.
I’m using the Google Drive for testing now and enjoyed the selective sync a lot, but I usually rely more on OneDrive due to Windows 10 integration that is just great. Since I’m also using Linux Manjaro Deepin now, I decided to try using Google Drive and enable the selective sync, it helped me a lot, so, in the end, OneDrive with a selective sync is what i’m looking for.

OneDrive pricing will be the same as for Google Drive, per account, one-time. The prices will remain unchanged. Thanks!
The selective sync window is getting an upgrade in Insync 3, which makes it easier and more flexible. Looking forward to sharing it soon!

That’s good to know! 
Please, what about using two services. I mean Google Drive and OneDrive together, it will need 2 Insync licenses, one for each service or 1 Insync license will let me use both services at the same time?
You will need 2 licenses, as is the same right now (if you want to use 2 Google Drives, you have to buy 2 licenses).
Alright!
Since I have already configured Insync for my Google Drive on my two systems, I’ll keep using it, then I’ll try for One Drive too. Guess this it will also be better to run OneDrive on Linux using Insync because it was really bad for me to make it work 
Thank you! Insync is very good, I’m really enjoying it!

I use Onedrive for work, so having support for business accounts it’s a must. The most important feature that I need is shared folders (for Business). We currently have a bunch of shared folders used by many team members and having access to them is crucial.
We switched from Dropbox to Onedrive and all the Linux users are left with using the browser for everything now. None of the Linux clients out there support shared folders for business accounts. Even the way Microsoft makes you sync a shared folder in Windows is weird (in my opinion), because you rely on the browser to start the sync process. I really hope Microsoft has API for this

I use onedrive for sync my document between linux and windows partition… I just decided to save all my documents in onedrive on windows 10, so if I have a shared folder it would be nice!

I’m not keen on Windows-as-a-Service so I’m moving my personal devices, plus the families, to Linux. But I do like MS’s Office online and Onedrive services and want to keep using those. InSync for Onedrive would enable my use-case very easily, I think.

this will be a great feature. my friend uses onedrive and was looking for a instance like insync to sync both, google and onedrive.
As many other use cases, because of work. I’ve been trying to switch to Linux fully, but I desperately need to sync my work OneDrive. I’ve been using Insync with google drive, and it works flawlessly, but it only solves half of my problem! I’m eager to try it out with onedrive asap so that I can fully switch my work machine to Linux =).
