Install as admin

On my work (Windows) computer I don’t have admin rights. It seems I can’t install odrive without them. Is there a portable version or some other way I can install without administrative rights at the OS level??

Hi,
Currently the installer installs the base odrive files into the Program Files directory which requires elevated privileges. We do not have a portable version, although the idea is interesting.

I will try to find some time to see the impact/viability of running odrive without the admin-level install.

Do you have an admin that can run the installer for you, in the meantime?

Unfortunately no. Google drive has the same issue, but there’s a CLI version on gitlab that works well. Unfortunately that’s a one-way sync (more of an rsync) so wouldn’t be good as your offering - if I could install it.

Ahh, if a CLI interface is good for you, you can use our odrive Agent, which doesn’t require any administrative privileges.

Have you taken a look at this yet?
