i now have a dual-boot windows 10/linux mint cinnamon machine.
i see there is a linux CLI setup for odrive, and i mostly understand how that works.
i see there was a question about using the same local odrive folder for both windows and linux here:
but my question is this… if i install the linux CLI odrive and run it in my linux system… will it attempt to download everything from the remote server(s)? that would be bad. i already have those files on a data drive, and i do not want/need them on this machine twice.
what i kinda want is for the linux odrive to pick up where the windows odrive left off. but the topic linked above suggests that is a very, very bad idea. 
can anyone (hi, tony! 
) recommend a smoother way to migrate the odrive synch?
i guess, for now, i can just boot into windows to run the odrive synch there, and leave it off the linux. until such time as i “never” need windows again.
in my scenario, i have my Work/3D subdirectories synched to the cloud and my laptop, and they contain a LOT of blender files. i was just going to load and save those files (and create new ones) in the same directories.
maybe i need an entirely new strategy
