My situation:
I have a laptop that is running Windows 8 Release Preview and I am considering slapping Debian on it instead of buying a Windows 7 or 8 license. (The laptop itself came with a Windows Vista license but no. Just no.)
My problem:
I have a large number of files stored on Microsoft's SkyDrive, not to mention having the free 25 GB storage cap, and would prefer not to move to a new cloud service.
My question:
Is there an application for Linux that allows some level of integration with SkyDrive?
It looks from http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-documents/tree/NEWS like gnome-documents, version 0.5.2 or higher, can connect to SkyDrive. Once it’s connected, I don’t know whether or not it will allow you to do what you want with your documents on SkyDrive. And, as of today, http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gnome-documents.html reports that the latest version of gnome-documents is 3.6.1, but the latest version in Debian’s “unstable” repository is only version 0.4.2, which can’t connect to SkyDrive at all.
I don’t know what to suggest to you to do.
How much time have you spent researching this problem yourself already? Is there any way you can connect to SkyDrive from the Linux command line for now? Do you find that gnome-documents 0.5.2 or higher (try a Linux live CD which includes GNOME 3.6 or higher) does what you want? How much work would it be for you to switch to another cloud service?
