I've had to but wasn't able to :) Only for a little while I got it to work 
with an old version of onedrive-d until it stopped working. I decided to give 
the last usable version[1] (that's the one they're using with Ubuntu, the one 
on the new repo says it's not usable) a try but it has python deps that are 
not on gentoo or conflict.
