Not authenticating for Microsoft Onedrive

Help and Support
1

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I cannot configure a connection to Microsoft Ondrive, because the authentication does not complete. It redirects in the browser to https://login.microsoftonline.de/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize with all the parameters but produces then a timeout.

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

rclone v1.65.1

  • os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 22H2 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 10.0.19045.3930 (x86_64)
  • os/type: windows
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.21.5
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: cmount

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Microsoft Onedrive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone config

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

[one]
type = onedrive
region = de

welcome to the forum,

  • perhaps in the browser, you are already logged into a microsoft website?

  • might try a private browser window or try a different browser.

  • can run rclone config -vv for debug output

It is the same as below case:

replace

region = de

with

region = global

The root cause is that:

Azure Germany is being deprecated in favor of standard nonsovereign Azure regions in Germany.

Maybe time to remove DE from options here.

Wasn't it best then, @ncw , to remove that long outdated option 3?

Yes the de option was causing the problem. Thanks for the info. And too bad that Microsoft does not permit me to choose a datacenter. But well, it seems when you work with those big players your control is limited.
