In DecisionNeurosciencePsychopathology/DataTracker: DataTracker

Description

This can be used to mount SharePoint or any other cloud resource as if the data existed on your local machine. This uses rclone, ensure it is available. rclone: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/ Mac OS Warning: While the files will mount and be accessible, it has been seen where the Finder does not appropriately update to display your remote folders and file. They do, however, become accessible via terminal for normal operations like cat, ls, cd, etc. Macs also require the deletion of .DS_Store folder in order to attempt remounts as mount paths need to be empty.
