To start using Onedrive,
$ onedrive --synchronize
It will start to download your Onedrive files and folders into your local machines under the directory home/OneDrive
From here on, when you want to synchronize your local OneDrive folder with the remote, you will use,
$ onedrive --monitor
Do note that right now, the remote files will only be sync when you run the --monitor command. This is listed under "What is missing"
"While local changes are uploaded right away, remote changes are delayed until next automated sync cycle when using --monitor"
