Upload Only Option that does not perform remote delete

[gustiarto]

I can't use "onedrive --upload-only" in command-line, showing error =

--synchronize or --monitor missing from your command options or use --help for further assistance

No OneDrive sync will be performed without either of these two arguments being present

Then i use "onedrive -m --upload-only"
When "1.zip" was uploaded on my OneDrive account, then i delete "1.zip" in local (~/OneDrive)
But at once uploading "2.zip", even "1.zip" has gone on my OneDrive account.

I think causes i use "-m" option but i can't be performed without "-m" option
How can i use Upload-Only Option without sync remote from local ?

Generally, unless you want to do a bi-directional sync that constantly runs, do not use monitor mode.

How can i use Upload-Only Option without sync remote from local ?

You need to use the following command:

onedrive --synchronize --upload-only

For further command options, refer to:

onedrive --help

Nope, i use command:

onedrive --synchronize --upload-only
Still cant solve my problem

I make cron job for my web server

1. zip web file
2. upload that file to onedrive
3. delete file that file
   Because my storage of webserver so tiny, i wont to save the backup zip on that server.

"I want to "upload only" like on web-access of OneDrive, so when local file has been removed, on OneDrive not deleted". Like just for store the backup.
Because after upload complete, i deleted the file. My local hardisk so tiny.

Because after upload complete, i deleted the file. My local hardisk so tiny.

The way that the client works (currently) is that it replicates the local / remote state. If a file is deleted locally or remotely, that state will be reflected.

So essentially what your looking for is the following:

onedrive --synchronize --upload-only --no-remote-delete

However --no-remote-delete is not an option at present - thus I don't have a 'full' solution for you at present.

@abraunegg Any estimations when this feature might be added?

@diman82
This actually has an active branch locally where I was working on this before a few bug related issues raised which take priority. Once they are closed off & merged, I will be looking at this again. Time frame ~ 1 week I would say pending no bug issues raised.
