What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I have Windows boxes with existing OneDrive access to personal storage space. I am
trying, on Fedora Linux, to 'rclone config' access to the same MSFT OneDrive personal storage space. At the config step where a local browser window comes up, the incorrect Microsoft account is chosen for me to try to connect to my OneDrive. "Success!" is claimed, but rclone emits error message
"Failed to query available drives: HTTP error 403 ....
... "You do not have access to create this personal site ...
I have 2 "Microsoft accounts"
1.) jhoward@alumni.caltech.edu for normal personal Windows login
2.) jhoward@alumni.caltech.onmicrosoft.com for the sole use to access MSFT Exchange e-mail
The browser brought up by 'rclone config' pre-fills-in my login ID to 2.) which is NOT the owner of any OneDrive space. Attempts to change login ID "Use another account" to 1.) are not successful.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.69.1
- os/version: fedora 41 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.13.9-200.fc41.x86_64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.24.0
- go/linking: static

This is latest as of 11-Apr-2025
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 # with the following interactive entries
e/n/d/r/c/s/q> n
name> JamesDavidHoward-MSFT-OneDrive
Storage> 36 (Microsoft OneDrive)
client_id> (empty)
client_secret> (empty)
region> 1 (MSFT Cloud Global)
tenant> (empty)
edit advanced> n (NOT advanced config)
local web browser> y (local default is Google Chrome)
... local browser window starts, quickly shows WRONG account login, but
claims "Success!"
... rclone continues, stating:

Workaround
Run this configure sequence on my Windows 11 box, produced working, mountable config lines. Used current Windows 11 login credentials for the popped-up browser window, "Success!", no errors. Crossed my fingers and manually copied the config section for OneDrive back into the Linux Fedora ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf. Then the "rclone mount" worked on Linux.
