Hi @damianhenry,
You can run odriveagent automatically a few different ways. There was a post here where someone used what looked like a simple solution on Mint:
Other options would be to create a systemd service, which is a bit more involved.
When odriveagent is running, it will automatically upload items that it find during its routine local scans.
For downloads, you could add a cron job (crontab -e) to run periodically to recursively download any files it finds, setup like this (will run every hour):
0 * * * * "$HOME/.odrive-agent/bin/odrive" sync "/media/bob/MAGA/odrive-agent-mount/Amazon Drive" --recursive
The above stuff doesn’t require a Premium subscription.
