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.

I cannot connect to my Microsoft One Drive account thru the Adobe Acrobat app on my Android table as well as my phone.  This issue has cropped up within the last 6 months since I did not have this issue previously.  I have tried deleting the Adobe Acrobat app, reinstalled it, rebooted my tablet but it still will not link to my Once Drive account.  

My Windows computer does not have any issues connecting.

One work around I found with my tablet was to open my One Drive account to connect to the file in question then open it from there.

Not exactly sure what the issue is with the Adobe Acrobat app is, but, in my opinion the issue is definitely with the Adobe Acrobat app.

Hello @realistic_Dragonflya05b

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for the detailed description and for sharing the workaround you found. 

This discussion has many older replies, and the issue you describe started recently, so we would like to look at your case separately. Could you please share:

  1. The make and model of your tablet and phone, the Android version, and the Acrobat version installed on each

  2. The exact message you see when the OneDrive link fails, along with a screenshot, or a short screen recording of the steps you follow, as long as it does not show personal information

  3. Whether the OneDrive account is a personal account or a work or school account

  4. Whether the issue happens on both devices every time, or only at certain times

Once we have these details, we will be happy to look into it further. 

Regards,
Amal

@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.
