Cannot list OneDrive

trs · May 4, 2025, 11:38am

I've encountered the same issue as listed here (found by google) Can not list Onedrive - Help and Support - rclone forum

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I've created a new config for a OneDrive (personal) remote on a VPS hosted in Germany.
I have re-created this config multiple times and also tried copying my local rclone config file to the VPS and always get the same error.
error listing: couldn't list files: invalidRequest: The item does not reside in the drive

Running the same command on my local laptop in a different country works.
Using the same version of rclone as far as I can tell.
Somehow it appears to try to connect to a different MS service.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

welcome to the forum,

maybe try --onedrive-region=global

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks like an obvious solution and gave me an "oh no should have rtfm"-moment.
Unfortunately, when I tried it this morning, it didn't work.

Dumping the headers, I can see it's still connecting to the West Germany server despite the flag.

About 12 hours later this issue appears to have fixed itself. So it must be an "intermittent issue" or something in OneDrive that rclone isn't always able to interpret correctly.

Now it works with or without the flag, and looking at the headers nothing much has changed?

If there's any way in which I can assist with more troubleshooting this, let me know.

For what it's worth, here are the headers of the successful request from the VPS:

I note that the GET request has changed to GET /v1.0/drives/ONEDRIVE_ID/items/ONEDRIVE_ID!105/children?$top=1000 HTTP/1.1 which is similar to what I worked on my laptop yesterday (the 105 part) and different to what didn't work on the VPS yesterday (instead of 105 it had a much longer uuid-like string).

If you serach this forum you will see that OneDrive DE is constant source of issues. Why? Only MS knows. In theory all data centres should be the same. But in practice they are not.
