OneDrive on Linux
Expandrive has the ability to connect to Onedrive and Sharepoint and create a virtual mounted drive. You do not have to sync files to your computer to use them. It operates like a mapped network drive in Windows (without a drive letter of course) or a mounted drive on a Mac. Expandrive is not free and I have no association with the company. But I do have a license of my own. You can try it for free and even keep using it for free once the trial expires. However, after the trial expires you will only be able to use it for something like 20 minutes and then have to restart it.
Expandrive also connects to may other platforms including SFTP (which allows a Windows client to map a drive letter to a Linux SFTP server). It has Windows, Linux and Mac clients. Even when you have a native client for a specific app (Say OneDrive or Dropbox in Windows), Expandrive can be useful to just create a mapped drive and not have to worry about managing synced folders.

jrlowservices i prefer to use insync as the software is pretty intuitive. also expandrive would disconnet too often even with the paid version.
