What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I can't get the token from Azure.

First time using Azure and the app configured with these permissions

azure and onedrive are different backends.
are you trying to get a token from azure or from onedrive?

Hello. Thanks for answering.

I'm trying to set up rclone with Onedrive Personal. I follow the configuration steps choosing Onedrive but I am stuck in obtaining the Client ID where the link directs me to azure and I don't have any experience there

  1. Open Microsoft Azure and then click New registration.
rclone config -vv

e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config

can follow the rclone docs at https://rclone.org/onedrive/#creating-client-id-for-onedrive-personal

Yes, is the doc that I followed.
But when I run the code to obtain the Token, the browser opens with the Microsoft account credentials and gives me this error:

Failure!

Error: Auth Error

Description: No code returned by remote server

Maybe is something about the tenants ? (Once again, totally new on Azure)

just now, i followed the docs, and i was able to create and test a onedrive remote with client id.

start over, run rclone config -vv and create a new onedrive remote.
post the full output of that command.

could be an issue with the web browser.

when running rclone config -vv, at that point shown below,

  1. open a new web browser window in private mode.
  2. copy/paste URL into the address bar of the web browser.
  3. login to your onedrive account
Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?
 * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
 * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.

y) Yes (default)
n) No

Thanks again for your time

start over, run rclone config -vv and create a new onedrive remote.
post the full output of that command.

Maybe is something with the region?
I choose 1 and I get

region> 1

Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote?

  • Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use
  • Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access
    If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N.

Copying the link and pasting it into a private Window also does not allow me to validate
I tried with Google Chrome and also with Brave

Thank you very much for your help. I decided to use Backblaze and iDrive e2 and found the setups much easier. I guess that's because they are e2.
