1. You must be able to access your [NU Office365](http://office.com/) account before beginning this process. Contact your local campus IT support if you need help with initial account setup.
2. Due to the clusters being remote machines, **Rclone will need to be installed on your [local machine](https://rclone.org/downloads/) in order to authorize OneDrive**. Some services, such as Google Drive, do not require Rclone to be installed on your local machine.
3. After logging into the cluster of your choice, load the `rclone` module by entering the command below at the prompt:
2. Open a browser on your local machine and navigate to the [On-Demand portal]({{< relref "/open_ondemand" >}}) for the cluster of your choice. We use Crane for this example: [https://crane-ood.unl.edu](https://crane-ood.unl.edu). Select `Desktop` under `Interactive Apps` in the menu at the top of the page to get a virtual desktop on the cluster.

Scroll down to the bottom of the next page, and click on the blue `Launch` button. When the resource is ready, click on the blue `Launch Desktop` button that appears on the next page.

On the virtual desktop, click on the `Terminal Emulator` icon at the bottom of the window to open up a command shell.

3. At the command prompt in the shell that opens, load the `rclone` module by entering the command below at the prompt:

[demo2@login.crane ~]$ module load rclone
[demo03@c0809.crane ~]$ module load rclone

4. We will need to start the basic configuration for OneDrive. To do this run `rclone config`:
{{% panel theme="info" header="Load the rclone config" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
[demo2@login.crane ~]$ rclone config
[demo03@c0809 ~]$ rclone config

5. In a new configuration, you will see no remotes found. Enter `n` to make a new remote and name it a name you will know. In our example, we will use "myOneDrive". Select `Microsoft OneDrive` by entering in the corresponding number, in our case `23`. Hit Enter for the client_id, client_secret, and Edit advanced config. **When you are prompted for auto config, select `n`**. The terminal will stop at a `result>` prompt. Proceed to the next step.

6. Now **switch to a terminal on your local machine** and run `rclone authorize "onedrive"`. You will be prompted to go to a 127.0.0.1 address in your web browser if a browser doesn't open automatically. On the Microsoft Office sign-in page that opens enter in your NU e-mail address and click "Next". You will be taken to your campus' single sign-on page where you can sign in using your TrueYou/campus credentials. If login is successful, you should be redirected to a page that says "Success!" Return to your local rclone session. You should see a message instructing you to paste a line of code from your local machine to the cluster and then to confirm that the config is correct.

In the new shell that opens, load the `rclone` module like you did in the first shell with `module load rclone`, and then run `rclone authorize "onedrive"` at the command prompt. You will be prompted to go to a 127.0.0.1 address in a web browser.

8. To upload or download files, use the `rclone copy` command. For example:
{{% panel theme="info" header="Transferring files" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
[demo2@login.crane ~]$ rclone copy myOneDrive:/SomeFile.txt ./
[demo2@login.crane ~]$ rclone copy ./SomeFile.txt myOneDrive:/

9. To download directories, use the `rclone copy` command and use directory names over file. This copies the contents of the folders, so you need to specify a destination folder.
{{% panel theme="info" header="Download a directory from OneDrive" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
[demo2@login.crane ~]$ rclone copy myOneDrive:/my_hcc_dir ./my_hcc_dir
[demo03@c0809 ~]$ rclone copy myOneDrive:/my_hcc_dir ./my_hcc_dir
{{< /highlight >}}

To upload a directory named `my_hcc_dir` to OneDrive, use `rclone copy`.
{{% panel theme="info" header="Upload a directory to OneDrive" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
[demo2@login.crane ~]$ rclone copy ./my_hcc_dir myOneDrive:/my_hcc_dir

11. Rclone also supports using sync to transfer files, similar to rsync. The syntax is similar to `rclone copy`. This would only transfer files that are updated by name, checksum, or time. The example below would sync the files of the local directory to the remote directory on OneDrive.
{{% panel theme="info" header="transfer.sh" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
[demo2@login.crane ~]$ rclone sync ./my_hcc_dir myOneDrive:/my_hcc_dir
[demo03@c0809 ~]$ rclone sync ./my_hcc_dir myOneDrive:/my_hcc_dir
