How to Install and Configure OneDrive on Debian 11

Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud storage service just like Google Drive, and it works in the same way as Google Drive, Dropbox, or any other cloud storage provider. Microsoft provides a OneDrive app for all devices/OSs, and the service is also available to individuals who have Windows Live email accounts. This tutorial will look into nine easy steps that will allow you to install and configure OneDrive in Debian-based OS. Let’s get started.

A Personal Package Archive (PPA) repository allows users to upload source packages that will be compiled and published as an APT repository by Launchpad.

Simply said, a PPA is a collection of software that is not included in Ubuntu initially. These repositories often focus on a single program, although they can include more depending on who maintains them.
