How to configure onedrive to sync Business shared folders

I'm quite new to Linux, and have been trying this client to sync OneDrive files. It initially works for personal files, but not for shared folders. I believe I need to configure this functionality as per

However, I find this step hard to understand:


Configuring OneDrive Business Shared Folders

  • Create a new file called 'business_shared_folders' in your config directory
  • On each new line, list the OneDrive Business Shared Folder you wish to sync
[alex@centos7full onedrive]$ cat ~/.config/onedrive/business_shared_folders
# comment
Child Shared Folder
# Another comment
Top Level to Share
[alex@centos7full onedrive]$

I created a text file 'business_shared_folders' inside .config, but I can't figure out what "Child Shared Folder" and "Top Level to Share" mean, neither what I should write in "[alex@centos7full onedrive]" (maybe exactly as it appears in the terminal before '$'?). Sorry if the question is too basic.

I tried other clients such as Onedriver, but couldn't find instructions about how to configure it to cync shared folders from Business.

This is just an example configuration.

On each line, you type the name of the Shared Folder that has been shared with you. To get the right folder name(s) to add, as per the documentation, you use: onedrive --list-shared-folders
