config file gets reset all the time

[tessierp]

Hi,

I made a few adjustments in the config file under .config/onedrive, basically removed options I tried that didn't work and prevent onedrive from starting. I tried to disable those options by commenting them out and start the application through onedriveui which works but every time I restart my system those options that I commented out come back each time. Am I editing the right file? Is there something I'm missing?

One last thing I would like to mention is, as soon as I start the app, it synchronizes once, stops and then those options are written back in the config file..

Thanks

Please can you provide a few more details here

What distribution are you using?

Are you using the OneDriveGUI at all?

In most instances, the client uses a default location for the configuration file - typically ~/.config/onedrive/config

The 'onedrive' client never writes or updates a 'config' file.

OpenMediaVault and the OneDriveGUI do not use this location. They create their own config path and use that configuration file via the --confdir option. They also write their own config file.

When editing the configuration, please ensure that all application instances that are running are stopped - be that from systemd and/or manual processes.

Once stopped, edit the correct file then test that the options are correctly configured:

onedrive --confdir </path/to/your/config/file> --display-config

If you are using OpenMediaVault or OneDriveGUI please seek support in their support locations.

Hi there. It would seem that through updates I got, the config may have gotten messed up. The OnedriveUI was indeed the one overriding the config whereas before it didn't.

To solve the issues I decided to completely wipe out the configuration and start from scratch and now it works but I had to put the configuration files under .config/onedrive; for some odd reason it no longer wanted to work from the sub-folder accounts where I could have multiple accounts. Not sure why but haven't had time to look further.

Please seek support from OneDrive GUI as to why you cannot do this .. your issue has nothing to do with the 'onedrive' client application.

Hi, as I said, I didn't know exactly what caused the issue but I was able to resolve it fully by just reinstalling everything from scratch. Not sure if it was an update that somehow messed something up.

Either way, the problem is resolved. Thanks.

Please understand this is not an issue with the 'onedrive' client.

There is nothing I can help you with.

Please see support from the developer of the OneDrive GUI

I understand that. And no longer need help as the issue is now gone. Thanks for the help.
