Can't link OneDrive to Adobe Acrobat mobile on Android

Hi, 

 

I want to link my OneDrive to Adobe Acrobat on Android but it gives this message: Failed to link OneDrive, please contact IT admin for consent. 

I don't think I have a problem with my account because I can connect the same OneDrive account to Acrobat Reader on Windows and it works properply.

 

I hope you can help me find a solution.

 

Correct answer Amal.

Hi there,

Hope you're all doing well.

This issue has been fixed in the latest June update of the Acrobat Android app. Please go to the Play Store, update the app to the latest version, then restart your device and check if the issue is gone.

If you still face any problems or need more help, just let us know,  we're happy to help!

@Peter38302935vdrx, As mentioned above, enterprises and organizations use their own security gateways when allowing access to the any applications or logins. 

 

In your case, it was Microsoft Authenticator. For other organizations, it might be different, so reaching out to the IT team is the best solution in this case.

I have the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. The Apps and System are up to date and I have a University account for both Adobe and Microsoft 365. The link works without a problem on my Windows PC and Android Smartphone Xiaomi Poco F5. Is this just a problem on Samsung mobile devices?

I have also contacted our IT department, but they refered me to Adobe or Microsoft.

Hi, 

 

Sorry for the delayed response. If you are still facing the issue, that you are unable to link OneDrive on your application. Would you mind sharing a few details to understand the issue better?

1. Make and model your device?

2. Application version?

3. Screenshot of the error message.

Make sure that the application is updated to the latest version.

 

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

 

Thanks,

Harsh

Problem is exactly the same as always despite newest version. I like numerous other people have already provided you these details in our posts. In fact I just updated to the newest version on Android 21.11.0.20700 and the problem still exists. I can't believe that a company as big as Adobe can have an issue like this unresolved despite almost 4 months.
