Dear Sir/Madam,
I have informed that MS 365 works on any device. But while I was trying to use the primary feature for developers collaborative work its actually of no go.
I am talking about the features like OneDrive and SharePoint Sync. For developers to work on a collaborative project they really need to access files and programs across devices by keeping the files on the drive and should be able to launch IDEs to access the filesystems as if they are the local file systems.

Can we have OneDrive and SharePoint Sync work on Ubuntu?

    There is no official client for syncing OneDrive/SPO files to Linux devices, and afaik there are no plans to provide such. You can use third-party alternatives, such as https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/

    It sounds like you're referring to source code. OneDrive/SharePoint are not source control solutions. I would suggest you look at Azure DevOps, GitHub, etc.
