OneDrive not connecting to Mac app but connected to web version

Hi,

I have been able to connect my work OneDrive to Adobe Acrobat online (browser), but when I try to connect it to the desktop app on Mac, I am getting an error. (See screenshot below)

Some FYIs

1. I am signed to the same account on both the web and desktop versions.

2. I am using OneDrive for business since it is a work account.

3. My Adobe account is also a work account.

4. It doesn't seem to want to sync.

5. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop app. There were no updates available before doing this.

If I am able to connect OneDrive via the web browser version of Acrobat, then I have all of the permissions.

Thanks for your help in advance. I'm testing this out to help an instructor at my institution.

I was able to log into both my person and enterprise accounts*.

The basics (sorry): check the spelling of your loging and password; and the case of the password.

(I use Microsoft Authenicator instead of passwords for my OneDrive's, so I don't know if that was an issue.)

Check permissions of your access to the OneDrive.

These are all guesses...

*I have the OneDrive desktop app installed so I never needed to log in directly in Acrobat.

Hi.
We use an authenticator with my organization, so it's automatic. However, when I meet with the instructor, I will check if she has OneDrive downloaded on her device (I do). That should be a good workaround.

Thanks!!
