    Another person already answered about the office apps so I won’t mention it. What I know is that the most recent version of GNOME has OneDrive support so Ubuntu 24.04 should have it. Copilot is impossible to get. Also if you use the Microsoft suite, you probably should be running Windows. There’s not that much point in switching to Linux in this case

      the most recent version of GNOME has OneDrive support

      Just to check, do you mean the Microsoft version of Onedrive, or the abraunegg Linux version?

      Abraunegg’s version is brilliant, but the MS version would make my life easier :)

            Correct, it is one of multiple that are available, it just happens to be built into Gnome. It also syncs with Google Drive and some others.

              Ah, I know the one. I’ve used it for Google Drive in the past. I didn’t know it could do Onedrive too though.

          A developer, Abraunegg, has made a Linux tool that syncs a Microsoft Onedrive account with a Linux system, in the same way that the Microsoft Onedrive tool does on Windows. They’ve named their tool Onedrive too.

          I didn’t know if you were talking about Microsoft Onedrive compatibility in Gnome, or Abraunegg’s Onedrive. It gets a bit confusing when they both have the same name.
