Manual synchronize on Ubuntu

[PurnenduKarmakar]

Appreciate your hard work. First day of OneDrive on Ubuntu 20.04 (64bit).

1. Does Onedrive keep running in the background of a session if I run "onedrive --synchronize" ? (I rarely use OneDrive. Is there a way to Sync manually ONLY when I need, and avoid losing memory normally)
2. Why do I see "onedrive -m" running all the time in the background?

(Note that I tried sudo docker stop onedrive and without sudo, did not work)

If the session remains active, then yes, if you close the session - then the sync will terminate

Why do I see "onedrive -m" running all the time in the background?

This is because you are running Ubuntu and installed the client via the PPA. This is a packaging issue only. There are 2 ways to solve this:

1. Fix the package by emailing the maintainer of the packge
2. Uninstall the PPA package and build from source
