Hi and welcome to antiX.
You already got pretty good advice above, but let me chip in:
You don’t mean you want “programs compatible with windows” – in this case you seem to want (if I understood you correctly) software that is similar and/or does the same tasks as Onedrive and TotalCommander.
When using a new Operating System, it helps to think in a more general way, so you could say this: you want a program that can access Cloud storage and a File Manager with a dual pane window.
Like previously said- you can use the On-line interface that every Cloud service, including Onedrive offers via Internet browsers. But I have to use Onedrive at work and I think you want a way to automatically backup and sync files to that particular cloud service, like the official Microsoft Onedrive app does. As far as I know, there’s really no app that does that. You can use antiX-Cloud to set up your Onedrive account and use your cloud drive just like it was a pendrive plugged to your computer and copy files between your device and the cloud using antiX’s File Manager (there are several, the default File Manager is called ZZZFM- yes, Open Source developers tend to like strange cryptic names, including Skidoo, that developed that one).
You also like File Managers similar to TotalCommander – you can “goggle” that, but zzzfm can be easily setup to have dual panes, side by side, if that’s all that you want. If not, please check out this list: https://alternativeto.net/software/total-commander/?platform=linux
Please, to get some general ideas about Linux and how to use antiX, read the non official FAQ’s, available here in the forum. They were made to help people transition from other systems to antiX, answering the usual questions I know most people make when they start to use Linux (and specially antiX).
If you need help performing any kind of configuration or installing something, feel free to ask here, but, please do try consulting the non official antiX FAQ’s before, ok?
