This is a simple program to create a system tray icon and display program status for onedrive client developed by abraunegg.
Click with the left mouse button and the program shows the synchronization progress. Click with the right mouse button and a menu with the available options is shown. Click with the mid mouse button and the program shows the PID of the onedrive client.
The program was written using lib QT 5.13.0.
To use the program you must first compile and install the onedrive client available at https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive.
The steps bellow should be suffice to compile the program:
git clone https://github.com/DanielBorgesOliveira/onedrive_tray.git
cd onedrive_tray
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../systray.pro
make
This will create systray binary.
Tested with QT 5.12.6 and 5.13.0.
First move the binary to your path:
sudo cp onedrive_tray /usr/local/bin/onedrive_tray
Then execute the program:
onedrive_tray --onedrive-path [path to onedrive client] --onedrive-args [onedrive client arguments].
If you want the program to execute every time you log in you can put it in the auto start scripts.
You can alternatively install with make:
sudo make install
This will include a systemd service that can be enabled to auto start the application:
systemctl enable --user onedrive_tray.service
-
If you execute the program directly from the command line, you can set environment variables: "HTTP_PROXY" and "HTTPS_PROXY" to let onedrive subprocess inherit these settings because of QT features.
-
If you use the systemd service, you can achieve this by editing the "/usr/lib/systemd/user/onedrive_tray.service" file and add (please properly replace "ip.address:port" with your proxy settings)
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://ip.address:port" Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=http://ip.address:port"to the "[Service]" section of the service unit file.

If you do not have the necessary knowledge to compile a Linux program or simply you have no patience to compile another package you can download a pre-compiled binary developed by the community. Bellow, there are some packages available.
- This is an AUR package compile by jugendhacker for ArchLinux. You can get it in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/onedrive_tray-git/.
