Hi @Will.H
Can you please provide a screenshot of any errors you are seeing. You can also try sending a diagnostic from the odrive tray menu.

Thanks!

Tony, diagnostics sent, herewith screenshots

many thanks, please let me know

Hi,
The diagnostic was never received. This indicates that something is preventing odrive from connecting to the network properly.

Is this on a work computer or personal computer?
Do you have a proxy in place?
Do you have a restrictive firewall in place?
Do you have any endpoint protection software, anti-virus, or malware software that could be blocking access from odrive?

11

hello, its a work laptop on a domain. no proxy. added exclusion to firewall. tried with anti virus off but no difference. could you confirm the URL or IP the software needs to access on your side so i can test / add exception rules? thanks

12

We don’t have a set of static IPs, but the domains will either be www.odrive.com or api.odrive.com.

13

Tony, okay thanks - its now authorised and linked to my account and the ftp folders are working / syncing but not the 3 dropbox folders? i get this warning come up - can you help please?

14

Tony, I’ve sorted this now, i’m just working on ftp now…

Hi @Will.H,
Thanks for the update. I am extremely curious as to the steps you took to resolve this. It has been encountered a couple of times and it is difficult to determine the cause from our end. Can you share some insight when you get a chance?

Thanks!

Thanks Tony, it was white-listing those URLs and another setting that needed enabling in our corporate protection software (not anti-virus).

@Will.H / @Tony
believe I’m having similar issues on this, can you explain how you sorted this out in the end as I’m not able to make any progress with this…!!

Hi @warwickhope93,
Can you describe when you are seeing this error and for what services?
Are you using a proxy or on a network that is restricted?
Do you have any anti-virus or similar software running?

@Tony
I’m getting this same message that Will was getting,

However, when I log in online there is no problem (but i have to “allow access” through my Gmail account every time I log on?)

Firewall and Eset have been disabled but makes no difference.
I believe I am on the same corporate internet filter as @Will.H - Streamline3. not sure if you have come across this before?

Hi Warwick! :slight_smile: you need to raise a ticket with the Streamline3 support team - refer to my previous ticket ref; SL-729 as they need to enable various background stuff for this to work! ATB. Will

I am struggling with exactly the same issue, proxy and firewall were looked at and these made no difference. Please advise
thanks Ian K

Hi @antonykruger,
This generally indicates something external is preventing access.

Is this a Windows or Mac machine
Is it on your home network, or a corporate/company network?

23

It is a windows corporate machine that I use both at work and at home with exactly the same problem
Many thanks

Hi @antonykruger,
It sounds like it is something specific to that machine.

Do you have another system (non-corporate) at home you can test with to verify?
When you are using the corporate system at home, are you using a VPN?
Is that corporate system running any endpoint protection software, anti-virus, or anything similar?
