Syncing RHEL samba shares to SharePoint

We have an on-premises Linux server running RHEL which is currently being used as an on-site file storage server. We'd like to eventually move this data into our Office 365 SharePoint site by way of syncing certain shares with the cloud through a connector or any other available service. I'm seeing a lot of results for running commands or editing files or opening documents from SharePoint in Linux distros, but how can we specifically sync our RHEL samba shares with our SharePoint so we have complete availability whether on-prem or remote?

    Hi @Mark MacGregor ,

    1.You might try SharePoint Migration Tool. The SharePoint Migration Tool is a free tool from Microsoft that lets you move files from a variety of different storage platforms to SharePoint. It can handle large numbers of files and can preserve your file organization.

    2.You could use the Konqueror browser to log in to Sharepoint for Linux websites using cookies and WebDAV.

    Here's a discussion of automatically syncing shared documents from SharePoint for your reference: Mount SharePoint Online (Office 365) in Linux
