Changing the Onedrive account - Which commands?

[onkel-ede]

Onedrive works perfectly for me. Now I have read that the Onedrive API cannot handle 2FA. I use Microsoft365-family and still have one free account. I would like to secure my current main account with 2FA because of the account data and subscription settings. I would like to move the Onedrive data to the other account and set it up without 2FA. How can I make the move under Linux?

To change the account being used and migrate your data, adapt the following process:

• stop any systemd or service process you have running if applicable. If you are using Ubuntu or similar, and installed from a package make sure you have understood the following: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/ubuntu-package-install.md#known-issues-with-installing-from-the-above-packages
• logout from your existing account via: onedrive --logout
• migrate your data online (old account -> new account) if this is possible - as this will help to avoid having to re-upload the data
• authorise the application with the new account via: onedrive
• test your new account access via: onedrive --synchronize --dry-run --verbose --local-first <any-other options>
• sync your local data to ensure a consistent state via: onedrive --synchronize --verbose --local-first <any-other options>
• enable any systemd or service if applicable
