Creating Microsft client ID and secret
The instructions provided are correct for obtaining a unique Client ID and Client Secret to use with rclone for Microsoft OneDrive or Azure Blob Storage.
The key steps are:
- Register a new application in the Azure Portal under Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations.
- Set the Supported account types to include personal Microsoft accounts (for OneDrive) and set a Redirect URI of
http://localhost:53682. - After registration, copy the Application (client) ID.
- Under Certificates & secrets, create a new Client Secret, set its expiration (e.g., 24 months), and copy the generated Value (this is your Client Secret).
- For full access, add the required API permissions (e.g.,
Files.ReadWrite.All,offline_access) under API permissions and grant admin consent.
