Creating a Microsoft OneDrive API

Compared with the shared API resources built into Rclone, a self-built private API can bring a better experience. If you need to use a private API, you should provide the tokens.

Steps

1. Get the client_id

• Go to Microsoft Azure app registrations and click New registration.
  

  

• Configure as shown in the figure; for the Redirect URI, fill in http://localhost.
  

  

• After the creation succeeds, you will see the following content, in which the Application (client) ID is the client_id.
  

  

2. Get the client_secret

• Add a client secret in the order shown in the figure; the expiry period is currently at most two years.
  

  

• Then you can see the client_secret. Except for right after it is created, the client secret value cannot be viewed again afterwards. Be sure to save the secret at creation time before leaving the page.
  

  

3. Set API Permissions

• Enable the corresponding API permissions as shown below.
  

  

• The final result is as shown; check it against the figure. At this point, the creation and configuration of the Microsoft OneDrive API is complete.
