    Hi @Cameron Lewis

    Is there the same error code when you sign into OneDrive online?

    Please close all Microsoft applications (Such as Office, Teams, OneDrive etc).

    • Search %AppData% in Windows Search box, and navigate to Microsoft folder (C:\Users<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Microsoft)
    • Cut the OneAuth and IdentityCache folders out of the Microsoft folder and paste them onto your desktop.
    • Relaunch OneDrive and sign in. If the issue persists, close OneDrive, copy the OneAuth and IdentityCache folders back into the Microsoft folder, when it asks if you want to overwrite, say NO
    • Relaunch OneDrive and sign in again to have a check.
