Microsoft OneDrive Account

Topic Content

This group of option defines properties for key files and certificates that are used to access Microsoft (c) OneDrive cloud.

Introduction

For AnyFileBackup to have access to OneDrive, it needs the 'Client ID' and 'Client secret'. These are two secret keys that may be created in your Microsoft account at https://account.live.com/developers/

(1) If you already have set up the 'Client ID' and 'Client secret' for AnyFileBackup or another application, you may view them here: https://account.live.com/developers/applications/index

(2) If you need to create new 'Client ID' and 'Client secret' for AnyFileBackup, please follow this instruction.

(a) Log in to your Microsoft account at https://account.live.com/developers/applications/create

(b) Enter 'AnyFileBackup' into the 'Application name' field and press the 'I accept' button.

(c) On the next screen go to 'Settings' > 'API Settings' and Select 'YES' for the 'Mobile or desktop client app' checkbox. The default value for the 'Restrict JWT issuing' is 'YES' -- do not change it.

(d) Then go to 'Settings' > 'APP Settings'. Here you can view AnyFileBackup 'Client ID' and 'Client secret'.

You will be able to change these permissions at any time in your Microsoft account settings.
