Hi @AhmedMadany-4915,

In SharePoint On-Premise environment, the OneDrive for SharePoint is hosted in My Site Documents library:

you could access the MySite library using CSOM or SSOM as Trever's suggestion :

var siteurl = "http://sp/my/personal/administrator";
using (ClientContext ctx=new ClientContext(siteurl))
{
List list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Documents");
ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery());
ctx.Load(items);
ctx.ExecuteQuery();
}

Reference:

get list of files in a Folder in a SharePoint Library using CSOM

Answer 2

You can use CSOM or SSOM (Server-Side Object Model). There is no difference, from a development perspective, for accessing OneDrive sites versus standard SharePoint sites, so you can use objects like SPSite, SPFile, and so forth in your code.
