Sync not possible anymore: Microsoft OneDrive API returned an error

[eandy24]

Hi all,

I have set up onedrive several months ago and everything worked like a charme thanks to the very good manuals. Really nice and helpful little app, thank you for that.

Since 3 weeks or so, it stopped working, and I have no idea why.

The error message is:

ERROR: Microsoft OneDrive API returned an error with the following message:
  Error Message:    HTTP request returned status code 403 (Forbidden)
  Error Reason:     Database Is Read Only
  Error Timestamp:  2022-09-28T13:00:21

Uploading new file ./Bilder/.../20220612_183651000_iOS 2.jpg ...skipped

This message is then repeated continuously with other files...

What have I tried so far (several times)

• Completly removed onedrive and then did a clean install according to manual
• Reauth

I am starting "onedrive --synchronize --resync " as standard user

This is a OneDrive API problem ... because the 403 error is generated by Microsoft, not this client. It appears that maybe your OneDrive account has been put into read-only mode?

What happens happens when you login to OneDrive using your credentials - can you access your data & upload files via the web browser interface?

I am starting "onedrive --synchronize --resync " as standard user

Please stop using --resync unless the application asks you to use it ..... do not use resync each and every time you run the application.

@abraunegg
Thank you for looking into this.
You're absolutely right: My account is locked... Didn't realized this yet... problem solved.

And: I used --resync in this case only, because the app told me to do this, before I only used --synchronize ...

No problem - glad you have this sorted now
