Trying to run OneDrive from my Office 365 install, I get the "OneDrive can't be run using full administrator rights" error.

I see workarounds in Windows, but how to get them to work in crossover on Linux?

In Windows, it looks like there are a few ways round this.
From a command prompt, input net user administrator /active:no
I tried this in my crossover bottle by opening a dos window from Run > cmd but it threw an error

From the above links, task scheduler can help, but there is no taskschd.msc in my bottle -- prob because it's a Windows 7 bottle?

Any ideas how to run wihtout admin rights to run onedrive?

Hi there,

No, there is currently no workaround at this time :/

Hi there,

I just installed Office 365 on Ubuntu 22.04. I am geeting the exact same error. Is there any update on this issue?

Thank you.

Simple Solution and I know most people are not interested in it, Run InSync 3.8, Yeah I know additional costs and I know everyone though that Linux was totally awesomely FREE, Truth is sometimes you just need to pay for what you want your system to do, Insync also works with Google Drive, Drop Box ect and it works smoothly in the background. Drop in on them give it a free Trial much like this Cross Over Linux software and then decide if its worth purchasing.

This is necessarily accurate. FREE and open software is often about freedom. Free from restrictive license agreements. Free to configure your system to work the way which works best for you. Freedom from one-size-fits-all.

It's not unrealistic to finically support developers and development of application we use. If it's worth using, it's worth backing. It's not always about money.
