Multiple OneDrive (Personal) Accounts

Post by im_thatoneguy »

There doesn't appear to be a way to authorize multiple Onedrive accounts. E.g. one profile to backup one profile OneDrive. And another profile to backup another OneDrive.

Hi,

If you are using the release version of SyncBackPro V8/V9, then you can create profiles using different OneDrive accounts from the profile creation wizard. In the 3rd screen of the profile creation wizard, select OneDrive (Personal) from the Dropdown menu to authorize with a new OneDrive account (Please don’t select the options that shows ‘copy from profile’ or ‘shared settings’ in brackets).

Thank you.

No clue what I do wrong in this. In the profile creation wizard I choose to connect a new personal OneDrive account. But then the wizard immediately throws me to my browser and generates an authorisation code, without asking me to log in to that second OneDrive (my mother's in this case). So when I paste that authorisation code into the Syncback pop-up bar, the profile is connected to the first OneDrive account (my own). Any ideas what I'm missing here?

Before you start the profile creation wizard, open your default browser (if it's not open already) and sign out from your OneDrive session. This way you will be asked for your OneDrive credentials once the browser opens.
