From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Look into rclone mounts, assuming your org allows you to use rclone with OneDrive and SharePoint Online.
There’s also this open source, and commercial client, but I haven’t used them myself.
I looked into these but the "on demand" functionality is missing; I don't want to download the entire OneDrive contents to my laptop or have to manually sync and unsync folders. Nextcloud does have that feature.
rclone mounts don’t download anything; they cache “hot” data, and you can tweak that behaviour.
That sounds like it's beyond my current proficiency level – I'm willing to put in some work to de-Google/Microsoft myself, but still want something that "just works".
Nextcloud is awesome. I work in cloud engineering and we're implementing them for a client right now. So many cool extensions, and everything open source
Easy to self-host with a turnkeylinux appliance, too.
OneDrive works better in Linux than in Windows with the open-source client. Takes up almost zero memory or resources, downloads files quicker than the Windows client. Only doesn't have the "on demand" functionality but that often didn't work properly in Windows either.
