OneDrive suma otro cliente no oficial para Linux

Posted on by

onedrive linux

Los usuarios de GNU/Linux y de OneDrive, el sistema de almacenamiento en la nube de Microsoft, cuentan desde hace tiempo con una alternativa llamada onedrive-d que funciona muy bien y de la cual ya hablaron nuestros compañeros de Ubunlog. Pero por suerte el mundo del software libre siempre tiene sorpresas para darnos, y en este caso queremos presentar otra posibilidad más de utilizar este servicio y que llega de la mano de un desarrollador independiente.

Su nombre no queda claro, aunque en el sitio dice ‘OneDrive, for Linux’ y su espacio en GitHub es ‘/onedrive’ y lo primero quizá le traiga problemas legales. En todo caso, se trata de un binario que podemos descargar y utilizar desde la línea de comandos en cualquier distribución de GNU/Linux, aunque su desarrollador asegura estar trabajando en una interfaz gráfica y algunas mejoras de funcionamiento sustanciales.

Es que de momento, si bien la funcionalidad alcanza para la mayoría de los usuarios, no hay posibilidad de sincronizar archivos mayores a 100 MB de tamaño ni tampoco de utilizar esta herramienta en cuentas OneDrive for Business. Limitaciones que como decimos, quedarán eliminadas en un futuro próximo y entonces estaremos hablando de una herramienta verdaderamente completa y para hacer frente a un uso intensivo.

Para su funcionamiento, este cliente de OneDrive se basa en Inotify, una capa o subsistema del kernel de Linux diseñada para detectar cualquier cambio producido en un sistema de archivos y lo notifica a las aplicaciones relacionadas. De más está decir que para poder utilizarlo debemos tener una cuenta de Microsoft o de Outlook y una vez descargado el binario en cuestión debemos configurarlo mediante el archivo ‘~/config/onedrive/config’, en donde debemos establecer el directorio local (sync_dir) y junto con ello el o los archivos y directorios que vamos a dejar duera de la sincronización (skip_file y skip_dir). Luego, ejecutamos onedrive junto con la opción -resync para una sincronización total o para volver a sincronizar, -v o –verbose para mostrar información y -m o –monitor para quedar en estado de monitorización de cambios.

Huawei Nexus 6P render leaks alongside packaging for both new Nexuses

Posted on by

The Nexus leaks have been flowing steadily in recent weeks. We’ve heard that they’re being made by LG and Huawei, both devices have been shown in image leaks, and some of the specs of both phones have leaked out, too. Now we’re getting the biggest leaks yet in the form of an official Nexus 6P render and images of the packaging for both phones.

First up, an official-looking Huawei Nexus 6P render has been shared by Android Police. The device looks similar to the ones we’ve seen in past leaks, offering a pair of front-facing speakers as well as a round fingerprint reader around back. Above that fingerprint reader is a bump with a black insert that houses the rear camera and flash.

Android Police has also shared images that reportedly show the packaging for both LG and Huawei’s new Nexus phones. One box includes Nexus and “5X” branding, seemingly confirming the LG Nexus 5X name that’s been rumored for some time now, while the other includes Nexus and “6P,” confirming the Nexus 6P name for Huawei’s phone.

The packaging for the two phones appear to have sleeves over the boxes that’ll actually hold the phones. The sleeves have X and P designs, and each letter appears to have an Android wallpaper filling it in.

In addition to revealing the names of these two devices, the packaging lists them both as coming with 32GB of storage. Past reports have suggested that the Nexus 5X will also come with 16GB of storage, while the Nexus 6P will be sold in 64GB and 128GB options.

The Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P are both expected to debut on September 29. The Nexus 5X will reportedly be the smaller of the two, offering a 5.2-inch screen in addition to a 12.3-megapixel camera and Snapdragon 808 processor. Meanwhile, the Nexus 6P will allegedly have a 5.7-inch screen and Snapdragon 810 chipset.

Google is holding an event on September 29, and it’s expected that we’ll see both of these phones unveiled there.
