## Configuration File Options

### application_id
_**Description:**_ This is the config option for application id that used to identify itself to Microsoft OneDrive. In some circumstances, it may be desirable to use your own application id. To do this, you must register a new application with Microsoft Azure via	https://portal.azure.com/, then use your new application id with this config option.

_**Value Type:**_ String

_**Default Value:**_ d50ca740-c83f-4d1b-b616-12c519384f0c

_**Config Example:**_ `application_id = "d50ca740-c83f-4d1b-b616-12c519384f0c"`

### azure_ad_endpoint
_**Description:**_ This is the config option to change the Microsoft Azure Authentication Endpoint that the client uses to conform with data and security requirements that requires data to reside within the geographic borders of that country.

_**Value Type:**_ String

_**Default Value:**_ *Empty* - not required for normal operation

_**Valid Values:**_ USL4, USL5, DE, CN

_**Config Example:**_ `azure_ad_endpoint = "DE"`

### azure_tenant_id
_**Description:**_ This config option allows the locking of the client to a specific single tenant and will configure your client to use the specified tenant id in its Azure AD and Graph endpoint URIs, instead of "common". The tenant id may be the GUID Directory ID or the fully qualified tenant name.

_**Value Type:**_ String

_**Default Value:**_ *Empty* - not required for normal operation

_**Config Example:**_ `azure_tenant_id = "example.onmicrosoft.us"` or `azure_tenant_id = "0c4be462-a1ab-499b-99e0-da08ce52a2cc"`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Must be configured if 'azure_ad_endpoint' is configured.

### bypass_data_preservation
_**Description:**_ This config option allows the disabling of preserving local data by renaming the local file in the event of data conflict. If this is enabled, you will experience data loss on your local data as the local file will be over-written with data from OneDrive online. Use with care and caution.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `bypass_data_preservation = "false"` or `bypass_data_preservation = "true"`

### check_nomount
_**Description:**_ This config option is useful to prevent application startup & ongoing use in 'Monitor Mode' if the configured 'sync_dir' is a separate disk that is being mounted by your system. This option will check for the presence of a `.nosync` file in your mount point, and if present, abort any sync process to preserve data.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `check_nomount = "false"` or `check_nomount = "true"`

_**CLI Option:**_ `--check-for-nomount`

> [!TIP]
> Create a `.nosync` file in your mount point *before* you mount your disk so that this `.nosync` file visible, in your mount point if your disk is unmounted at any point to preserve your data when you enable this option.

### check_nosync
_**Description:**_ This config option is useful to prevent the sync of a *local* directory to Microsoft OneDrive. It will *not* check for this file online to prevent the download of directories to your local system.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `check_nosync = "false"` or `check_nosync = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--check-for-nosync`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Create a `.nosync` file in any *local* directory that you wish to not sync to Microsoft OneDrive when you enable this option.

### classify_as_big_delete
_**Description:**_ This config option defines the number of children in a path that is locally removed which will be classified as a 'big data delete' to safeguard large data removals - which are typically accidental local delete events.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 1000

_**Config Example:**_ `classify_as_big_delete = "2000"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--classify-as-big-delete 2000`

> [!NOTE]
> If this option is triggered, you will need to add `--force` to force a sync to occur.

### cleanup_local_files
_**Description:**_ This config option provides the capability to cleanup local files and folders if they are removed online.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `cleanup_local_files = "false"` or `cleanup_local_files = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--cleanup-local-files`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This configuration option can only be used with `--download-only`. It cannot be used with any other application option.

### connect_timeout
_**Description:**_ This configuration setting manages the TCP connection timeout duration in seconds for HTTPS connections to Microsoft OneDrive when using the curl library (CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT).

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 10

_**Config Example:**_ `connect_timeout = "15"`

### create_new_file_version
_**Description:**_ This setting controls how the application handles the Microsoft SharePoint *feature* which modifies all PDF, MS Office & HTML files post upload, effectively breaking the integrity of your data online. By default, when the application determines that this *feature* has modified your file post upload, the now online modified file will be downloaded. When this option is enabled, rather than downloading the file, a new online file version is created which negates the download of the modified file.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `create_new_file_version = "false"` or `create_new_file_version = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ *None - this is a config file option only*

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If you enable 'disable_upload_validation' via `disable_upload_validation = "true"` there is zero facility to determine if a file was modified post upload. As such, the application will default to the state that the upload integrity check has failed. When `create_new_file_version = "false"` your uploaded file will be downloaded *regardless* of the online modification state.

> [!WARNING]
> When this option is set to 'true', new file versions will be created online which will count towards your Microsoft OneDrive Quota.

### data_timeout
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the timeout duration, in seconds, for when data is not received on an active connection to Microsoft OneDrive over HTTPS when using the curl library, before that connection is timeout out.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 60

_**Config Example:**_ `data_timeout = "300"`

### debug_https
_**Description:**_ This setting controls whether the curl library is configured to output additional data to assist with diagnosing HTTPS issues and problems.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `debug_https = "false"` or `debug_https = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--debug-https`

> [!WARNING]
> Whilst this option can be used at any time, it is advisable that you only use this option when advised as this will output your `Authorization: bearer` - which is your authentication token to Microsoft OneDrive.

### disable_download_validation
_**Description:**_ This option determines whether the client will conduct integrity validation on files downloaded from Microsoft OneDrive. Sometimes, when downloading files, particularly from SharePoint, there is a discrepancy between the file size reported by the OneDrive API and the byte count received from the SharePoint HTTP Server for the same file. Enable this option to disable the integrity checks performed by this client.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `disable_download_validation = "false"` or `disable_download_validation = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--disable-download-validation`

> [!CAUTION]
> If you're downloading data from SharePoint or OneDrive Business Shared Folders, you might find it necessary to activate this option. It's important to note that any issues encountered aren't due to a problem with this client; instead, they should be regarded as issues with the Microsoft OneDrive technology stack. Enabling this option disables all download integrity checks.

> [!CAUTION]
> If you are using OneDrive Business Accounts and your organisation implements Azure Information Protection, these AIP files will report as one size & hash online, but when downloaded, will report a totally different size and hash. 
>
> By default these files will fail integrity checking and be deleted, meaning that AIP files will not reside on your platform. 
> 
> When you enable this option, the AIP files will download to your platform, however, if there are any other genuine download failures where the size and hash are different, these too will be retained locally meaning you may experience data integrity loss. Use this option with extreme caution.

### disable_notifications
_**Description:**_ This setting controls whether GUI notifications are sent from the client to your display manager session. 

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `disable_notifications = "false"` or `disable_notifications = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--disable-notifications`

### disable_permission_set
_**Description:**_ This setting controls whether the application will set the permissions on files and directories using the values of 'sync_dir_permissions' and 'sync_file_permissions'. When this option is enabled, file system permission inheritance will be used to assign the permissions for your data. This option may be useful if the file system configured does not allow setting of POSIX permissions.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `disable_permission_set = "false"` or `disable_permission_set = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ *None - this is a config file option only*

### disable_upload_validation
_**Description:**_ This option determines whether the client will conduct integrity validation on files uploaded to Microsoft OneDrive. Sometimes, when uploading files, particularly to SharePoint, SharePoint will modify your file post upload by adding new data to your file which breaks the integrity checking of the upload performed by this client. Enable this option to disable the integrity checks performed by this client.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `disable_upload_validation = "false"` or `disable_upload_validation = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--disable-upload-validation`

> [!CAUTION]
> If you're uploading data to SharePoint or OneDrive Business Shared Folders, you might find it necessary to activate this option. It's important to note that any issues encountered aren't due to a problem with this client; instead, they should be regarded as issues with the Microsoft OneDrive technology stack. Enabling this option disables all upload integrity checks.

### display_running_config
_**Description:**_ This option will include the running config of the application at application startup. This may be desirable to enable when running in containerised environments so that any application logging that is occurring, will have the application configuration being consumed at startup, written out to any applicable log file.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `display_running_config = "false"` or `display_running_config = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--display-running-config`

### display_transfer_metrics
_**Description:**_ This option will display file transfer metrics when enabled.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `display_transfer_metrics = "false"` or `display_transfer_metrics = "true"`

_**Output Example:**_ `Transfer Metrics -  File: path/to/file.data | Size: 35768 Bytes | Duration: 2.27 Seconds | Speed: 0.02 Mbps (approx)`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ *None - this is a config file option only*

### dns_timeout
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the libcurl DNS cache value. By default, libcurl caches this info for 60 seconds. This libcurl DNS cache timeout is entirely speculative that a name resolves to the same address for a small amount of time into the future as libcurl does not use DNS TTL properties. We recommend users not to tamper with this option unless strictly necessary.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 60

_**Config Example:**_ `dns_timeout = "90"`

### download_only
_**Description:**_ This setting forces the client to only download data from Microsoft OneDrive and replicate that data locally. No changes made locally will be uploaded to Microsoft OneDrive when using this option.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `download_only = "false"` or `download_only = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--download-only`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> When using this option, the default mode of operation is to not clean up local files that have been deleted online. This ensures that the local data is an *archive* of what was stored online. To cleanup local files use `--cleanup-local-files`.

### drive_id
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the specific drive identifier the client will use when syncing with Microsoft OneDrive.

_**Value Type:**_ String

_**Default Value:**_ *None*

_**Config Example:**_ `drive_id = "b!bO8V6s9SSk9R7mWhpIjUrotN73WlW3tEv3OxP_QfIdQimEdOHR-1So6CqeG1MfDB"`

> [!NOTE]
> This option is typically only used when configuring the client to sync a specific SharePoint Library. If this configuration option is specified in your config file, a value must be specified otherwise the application will exit citing a fatal error has occurred.

### dry_run
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the application capability to test your application configuration without actually performing any actual activity (download, upload, move, delete, folder creation).

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `dry_run = "false"` or `dry_run = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--dry-run`

### enable_logging
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the application logging all actions to a separate file. By default, all log files will be written to `/var/log/onedrive`, however this can changed by using the 'log_dir' config option

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `enable_logging = "false"` or `enable_logging = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--enable-logging`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Additional configuration is potentially required to configure the default log directory. Refer to the [Enabling the Client Activity Log](./usage.md#enabling-the-client-activity-log) section in usage.md for details

### force_http_11
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the application HTTP protocol version. By default, the application will use libcurl defaults for which HTTP protocol version will be used to interact with Microsoft OneDrive. Use this setting to downgrade libcurl to only use HTTP/1.1.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `force_http_11 = "false"` or `force_http_11 = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--force-http-11`

### ip_protocol_version
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the application IP protocol that should be used when communicating with Microsoft OneDrive. The default is to use IPv4 and IPv6 networks for communicating to Microsoft OneDrive.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 0

_**Valid Values:**_ 0 = IPv4 + IPv6, 1 = IPv4 Only, 2 = IPv6 Only

_**Config Example:**_ `ip_protocol_version = "0"` or `ip_protocol_version = "1"` or `ip_protocol_version = "2"`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> In some environments where IPv4 and IPv6 are configured at the same time, this causes resolution and routing issues to Microsoft OneDrive. If this is the case, it is advisable to change 'ip_protocol_version' to match your environment.

### local_first
_**Description:**_ This setting controls what the application considers the 'source of truth' for your data. By default, what is stored online will be considered as the 'source of truth' when syncing to your local machine. When using this option, your local data will be considered the 'source of truth'.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `local_first = "false"` or `local_first = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--local-first`

### log_dir
_**Description:**_ This setting controls the custom application log path when 'enable_logging' has been enabled. By default, all log files will be written to `/var/log/onedrive`.

_**Value Type:**_ String

_**Default Value:**_ *None*

_**Config Example:**_ `log_dir = "~/logs/"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--log-dir "~/logs/"`

### max_curl_idle
_**Description:**_ This configuration option controls the number of seconds that elapse after a cURL engine was last used before it is considered stale and destroyed. Evidence suggests that some upstream network devices ignore the cURL keep-alive setting and forcibly close the active TCP connection when idle.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 120

_**Config Example:**_ `monitor_fullscan_frequency = "120"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ *None - this is a config file option only*

> [!IMPORTANT]
> It is strongly recommended not to modify this setting without conducting thorough network testing. Changing this option may lead to unexpected behaviour or connectivity issues, especially if upstream network devices handle idle connections in non-standard ways.

### monitor_fullscan_frequency
_**Description:**_ This configuration option controls the number of 'monitor_interval' iterations between when a full scan of your data is performed to ensure data integrity and consistency.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 12

_**Config Example:**_ `monitor_fullscan_frequency = "24"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--monitor-fullscan-frequency '24'`

> [!NOTE]
> By default without configuration, 'monitor_fullscan_frequency' is set to 12. In this default state, this means that a full scan is performed every 'monitor_interval' x 'monitor_fullscan_frequency' = 3600 seconds. This setting is only applicable when running in `--monitor` mode. Setting this configuration option to '0' will *disable* the full scan of your data online.

### monitor_interval
_**Description:**_ This configuration setting determines how often the synchronisation loops run in --monitor mode, measured in seconds. When this time period elapses, the client will check for online changes in Microsoft OneDrive, conduct integrity checks on local data and scan the local 'sync_dir' to identify any new content that hasn't been uploaded yet.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 300

_**Config Example:**_ `monitor_interval = "600"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--monitor-interval '600'`

> [!NOTE]
> A minimum value of 300 is enforced for this configuration setting.

### monitor_log_frequency
_**Description:**_ This configuration option controls the suppression of frequently printed log items to the system console when using `--monitor` mode. The aim of this configuration item is to reduce the log output when near zero sync activity is occurring.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 12

_**Config Example:**_ `monitor_log_frequency = "24"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--monitor-log-frequency '24'`

_**Usage Example:**_ 

By default, at application start-up when using `--monitor` mode, the following will be logged to indicate that the application has correctly started and has performed all the initial processing steps:
```text
Reading configuration file: /home/user/.config/onedrive/config
Configuration file successfully loaded
Configuring Global Azure AD Endpoints
Sync Engine Initialised with new Onedrive API instance
All application operations will be performed in: /home/user/OneDrive
OneDrive synchronisation interval (seconds): 300
Initialising filesystem inotify monitoring ...
Performing initial synchronisation to ensure consistent local state ...
Starting a sync with Microsoft OneDrive
Fetching items from the OneDrive API for Drive ID: b!bO8V6s9SSk9R7mWhpIjUrotN73WlW3tEv3OxP_QfIdQimEdOHR-1So6CqeG1MfDB ..
Processing changes and items received from Microsoft OneDrive ...
Performing a database consistency and integrity check on locally stored data ... 
Scanning the local file system '~/OneDrive' for new data to upload ...
Performing a final true-up scan of online data from Microsoft OneDrive
Fetching items from the OneDrive API for Drive ID: b!bO8V6s9SSk9R7mWhpIjUrotN73WlW3tEv3OxP_QfIdQimEdOHR-1So6CqeG1MfDB ..
Processing changes and items received from Microsoft OneDrive ...
Sync with Microsoft OneDrive is complete
```
Then, based on 'monitor_log_frequency', the following output will be logged until the suppression loop value is reached:
```text
Starting a sync with Microsoft OneDrive
Syncing changes from Microsoft OneDrive ...
Sync with Microsoft OneDrive is complete
```
> [!NOTE]
> The additional log output `Performing a database consistency and integrity check on locally stored data ...` will only be displayed when this activity is occurring which is triggered by 'monitor_fullscan_frequency'.

> [!NOTE]
> If verbose application output is being used (`--verbose`), then this configuration setting has zero effect, as application verbose output takes priority over application output suppression.

### no_remote_delete
_**Description:**_ This configuration option controls whether local file and folder deletes are actioned on Microsoft OneDrive.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `local_first = "false"` or `local_first = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ `--no-remote-delete`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This configuration option can *only* be used in conjunction with `--upload-only`

### notify_file_actions
_**Description:**_ This configuration option controls whether the client will log via GUI notifications successful actions that the client performs.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `notify_file_actions = "true"`

> [!NOTE]
> GUI Notification Support must be compiled in first, otherwise this option will have zero effect and will not be used.

### operation_timeout
_**Description:**_ This configuration option controls the maximum amount of time (seconds) a file operation is allowed to take. This includes DNS resolution, connecting, data transfer, etc. We recommend users not to tamper with this option unless strictly necessary. This option controls the CURLOPT_TIMEOUT setting of libcurl.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 3600

_**Config Example:**_ `operation_timeout = "3600"`

### permanent_delete
_**Description:**_ Permanently delete an item online when it is removed locally. When using this method, they're permanently removed and aren't sent to the Microsoft OneDrive Recycle Bin. Therefore, permanently deleted drive items can't be restored afterward. Online data loss MAY occur in this scenario.

_**Value Type:**_ Boolean

_**Default Value:**_ False

_**Config Example:**_ `permanent_delete = "true"`

_**CLI Option Use:**_ *None - this is a config file option only*

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The Microsoft OneDrive API for this capability is also very narrow:
> | Account Type | Config Option is Supported |
> |--------------|------------------|
> | Personal     | ❌ |
> | Business     | ✔ |
> | SharePoint   | ✔ |
> | Microsoft Cloud Germany | ✔ |
> | Microsoft Cloud for US Government | ❌ |
> | Azure and Office365 operated by VNET in China | ❌ |
> 
> When using this config option against an unsupported Personal Accounts the following message will be generated:
> ```
> WARNING: The application is configured to permanently delete files online; however, this action is not supported by Microsoft OneDrive Personal Accounts.
> ```
> 
> When using this config option against a supported account the following message will be generated:
> ```
> WARNING: Application has been configured to permanently remove files online rather than send to the recycle bin. Permanently deleted items can't be restored.
> WARNING: Online data loss MAY occur in this scenario.
> ```
>

### rate_limit
_**Description:**_ This configuration option controls the bandwidth used by the application, per thread, when interacting with Microsoft OneDrive.

_**Value Type:**_ Integer

_**Default Value:**_ 0 (unlimited, use available bandwidth per thread)

_**Valid Values:**_ Valid tested values for this configuration option are as follows:

* 131072 	= 128 KB/s - absolute minimum for basic application operations to prevent timeouts

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Entries for 'skip_dir' are *relative* to your 'sync_dir' path.

_**Value Type:**_ String

_**Default Value:**_ *Empty* - not required for normal operation

_**Config Example:**_ 

Patterns are case insensitive. `*` and `?` [wildcards characters](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490639.aspx) are supported. Use `|` to separate multiple patterns. 

```text
skip_dir = "Desktop|Documents/IISExpress|Documents/SQL Server Management Studio|Documents/Visual Studio*|Documents/WindowsPowerShell|.Rproj-user"
```

The 'skip_dir' option can also be specified multiple times within your config file, for example:
```text
skip_dir = "SkipThisDirectoryAnywhere"
skip_dir = ".SkipThisOtherDirectoryAnywhere"
skip_dir = "/Explicit/Path/To/A/Directory"
skip_dir = "/Another/Explicit/Path/To/Different/Directory"
```

This will be interpreted the same as:

By default, the following files will be skipped:
*   Files that start with ~
*   Files that start with .~ (like .~lock.* files generated by LibreOffice)
*   Files that end in .tmp, .swp and .partial

Files can be skipped in the following fashion:
*   Specify a wildcard, eg: '*.txt' (skip all txt files)
*   Explicitly specify the filename and it's full path relative to your sync_dir, eg: '/path/to/file/filename.ext'
*   Explicitly specify the filename only and skip every instance of this filename, eg: 'filename.ext'

```text
skip_file = "~*|/Documents/OneNote*|/Documents/config.xlaunch|myfile.ext|/Documents/keepass.kdbx"

> If you receive this application error: `Subscription validation request failed. Response must exactly match validationToken query parameter.` the most likely cause for this error will be your nginx configuration.
> 
> To resolve this configuration issue, potentially investigate adding the following 'proxy' configuration options to your nginx configuration file:
> ```text
> server {
> 	listen 443;
>	server_name <your.fully.qualified.domain.name>;
> 	location /webhooks/onedrive {
> 		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
> 		proxy_set_header X-Original-Request-URI $request_uri;
> 		proxy_read_timeout 300s;
> 		proxy_connect_timeout 75s;

## Command Line Interface (CLI) Only Options

### CLI Option: --auth-files
_**Description:**_ This CLI option allows the user to perform application authentication not via an interactive dialog but via specific files that the application uses to read the authentication data from.

_**Usage Example:**_ `onedrive --auth-files authUrl:responseUrl`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The authorisation URL is written to the specified 'authUrl' file, then onedrive waits for the file 'responseUrl' to be present, and reads the authentication response from that file. Example:
> 
> ```text
> onedrive --auth-files '~/onedrive-auth-url:~/onedrive-response-url' 
> Reading configuration file: /home/alex/.config/onedrive/config
> Configuration file successfully loaded
> Configuring Global Azure AD Endpoints
> Client requires authentication before proceeding. Waiting for --auth-files elements to be available.
> ```
> At this point, the client has written the file `~/onedrive-auth-url` which contains the authentication URL that needs to be visited to perform the authentication process. The client will now wait and watch for the presence of the file `~/onedrive-response-url`.
> 
> Visit the authentication URL, and then create a new file called `~/onedrive-response-url` with the response URI. Once this has been done, the application will acknowledge the presence of this file, read the contents, and authenticate the application.
> ```text
> Sync Engine Initialised with new Onedrive API instance
> 
>  --sync or --monitor switches missing from your command line input. Please add one (not both) of these switches to your command line or use 'onedrive --help' for further assistance.
> 
> No OneDrive sync will be performed without one of these two arguments being present.
> ```

### CLI Option: --auth-response

_**Usage Example:**_ `onedrive --monitor` or `onedrive -m`

### CLI Option: --print-access-token

## Deprecated Configuration File and CLI Options
The following configuration options are no longer supported:

### force_http_2
_**Description:**_ Force the use of HTTP/2 for all operations where applicable

_**Deprecated Config Example:**_ `force_http_2 = "true"`

_**Deprecated CLI Option:**_ `--force-http-2`

### min_notify_changes
_**Description:**_ Minimum number of pending incoming changes necessary to trigger a GUI desktop notification.

_**Deprecated Config Example:**_ `min_notify_changes = "50"`

_**Deprecated CLI Option:**_ `--min-notify-changes '50'`

### CLI Option: --synchronize
_**Description:**_ Perform a synchronisation with Microsoft OneDrive

_**Deprecated CLI Option:**_ `--synchronize`

_**Reason for depreciation:**_ `--synchronize` has been deprecated in favour of `--sync` or `-s`
