Gnome 3.6+ supports SkyDrive via gnome-online-accounts. 3.4 and older only support chat iirc.

It seems to be possible if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, according to this blog post. I haven't tried it myself, though, but comments seem to indicate that it works, although with some limitations.

    I found SME a good solution, but it has one serious limitation. Its free account is limited to traffic of 1G per month.

It is quite easy using SME Storage!

  1. Download the the SME app that is relevant to your system

  2. Extract and then search extracted files for a Debian package (*.deb)

  3. Install the package

  4. Register for an account with SMEStorage

  5. Search your dash for "SMEStorage Explorer"

  6. Sign in to your SMEStorage account

  7. Select the icon with two circular prisms

  8. Add SkyDrive as a source

  9. Close program and search for "SMEStorage Client" in the dash

  10. Enter the location you wish to mount your Online Storage

  11. Click Mount

Good luck with your endeavour!

I originally did this with LiberianGeek's Howto, it worked well in Ubuntu 12.04 for me.

I personally didn't enjoy SMEStorage that much.

I'm quite happy with Otixo as you can connect many different services to it and access all of them simply and smoothly mounting dev.otixo.com as Secure WebDAV (with your credential) in Nautilus. No extra software needed.
