Odrive cannot link a school OneDrive account

Troubleshooting

When I try to link a OneDrive account to odrive, I am taken to the standard Microsoft login page. I can link a personal onedrive account, but when I add a school account I get the error:

That Microsoft account doesn’t exist. Enter a different account or get a new one

This is not a typo, I can sign into my onedrive with the exact same characters.

I believe the link to link my OneDrive account does not forward me to my university login, like the standard login page for onedrive.

Hope somebody can help!

Hi @mikey.hynes,
Try using the OneDrive for Business link instead of the OneDrive link type and let me know if that solves the issue.

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your help. The OneDrive for Business link did work (eventually). It did deem a bit temperamental though, and it was 24 hours before it would successfully authorize my account.

Thanks for the update @mikey.hynes. I’m glad to hear you were able to get it working.
