Access onedrive stuck while setting up remote

General
1

Hi, I am new user from rcloneview.
I succesfully setup remote for google-drive.
However, while setting up remote for onedrive (personal), it gives in browser message “Succes, all done, go back to rclone”, and then in rcloneview it shows greish window “add onedrive”, and not being to close the window. In the middle white x, which I can use to get out of loop. Sometimes messages appears about empty token. And that’s it.
How can I proceed ?
Thank you in advance !

The issue with rclone showing “Success, all done” in the browser but sometimes failing to return the token properly for OneDrive personal accounts is a known problem. This often happens due to token decoding issues or incorrect account authorization flow. Common reasons include:

  • The browser may authorize a different OneDrive account (such as business) if already logged in, leading to token mismatches.
  • The token returned may be malformed or longer than expected, causing rclone to fail parsing it.
  • Token refresh or retrieval can fail silently with an empty token error, requiring manual reconnection commands.
  • Headless or remote setups without a browser may cause issues in token exchange or input length limits.

Suggested workarounds and resolutions include:

  • Logging out from any other Microsoft accounts in the browser before running rclone config.
  • Using the advanced config option in rclone to explicitly select “personal” during setup.
  • Running rclone config reconnect onedrive_personal: to refresh the OAuth token when empty token errors appear.
  • Ensuring both rclone client and server sides are up to date with matching versions to avoid decoding errors.
  • For headless setups, generating the token on a machine with a browser and copying it may help.​

Before we open an issue on our side, could you try the following?

  1. Run the same OneDrive config using rclone directly (CLI) and see if the token is generated correctly.
  2. If the CLI flow also fails, it confirms the issue is in rclone rather than RcloneView.
  3. If the CLI works but the app still fails, please let us know — then we’ll investigate on our end.

Feel free to update us with what you find, and we’ll help you get it sorted out!
