Add support for OneDrive 'business' accounts

[exploiteddna]

There is a distinction between personal onedrive accounts and 'business' onedrive accounts that you get from work/university/organization.

Because microsoft changed their sync client not too long ago, users sometimes run into this problem when trying to log in with a business account. For example, when I had to get the sync client setup on my personal PC, I had to use the troubleshooting info in these articles to be able to log in successfully. This should give you enough info about the issue, if you don't already know.

Thanks for the help! I would really appreciate if business accounts could be added with your plugin!

OneDrive Business (in context of Office365 and maybe in Sharepoint Online) needs a payed developer account to get an app key and to operate an app. Therefore this is a blacklistet feature like stated in https://github.com/Kyrodan/KeeAnywhere/wiki/Contributing#blacklisted-features beacuse I don't wan't to run into a "pay dependency" for such an account.

Additionally Sharepoint on Premise is more complex to implement and configuration goes beyond the scope of KeeAnywhere's key features (simplicity).

Sponsoring a developer account for at least 3 years in advance could be a reasonable compromise.

Understood. Although I'm a little confused why someone would have to sponsor (i.e. Pay for) a developers account for 3 years. Are you suggesting it would take 3 years to develop?

It's moot, however, because I'm not in a position to sponsor anything.. But I am slightly curious.

At any rate, thx for the info

No, it would not take three years to develop. But a developer account is also needed for the whole time KeeAnywhere should be able to access OneDrive Business. With the three years "sponsoring" of a developer account I will make sure that KeeAnywhere would work with OneDrive Business for at least three years: I have to register KeeAnywhere as an app for OneDrive Business and this app key is only valid as long as I pay my developer account. So if I quit my developer account KeeAnywhere won't work with OneDrive Business anymore. And that would be annoying for users that have a Business account.

I also want to clarify my opinion regarding "business services" in general:
I'm develop this plugin in my spare time and I don't use most of the the providers by myself. I just do it because it's fun for me. I'm happy about every user that finds this plugin useful regardless whether he uses this plugin in a commercial environment or not. I don't want to earn any money with this plugin. But I also don't want to be a charge-free slave in situation where a commercial usage with a business value is clearly given. And I also want to pay fees for the ability that others can use this plugin for free. Everyone who has a OneDrive Business account pays for it (when not now, than later) and Microsoft clearly states OneDrive Business as a commercial product someone has to pay for. All payable Office 365 products for private (non-commercial) users do not contain a OneDrive Business account.

Please don't take the following words personally, it's not an attack agains you @michaelrw10. But I want to make others think about the honoration of others work and the spirit of the open source community:

It's moot, however, because I'm not in a position to sponsor anything

That's the answer I got everytime. If you (or your employer) finds something useful and it has a business value, please try to "sponsor" it (again: it's not "to pay for sth.", because I dont' want to earn money with that). Three years of a developer account costs less than one fourth of a contractor day in Frankfurt Area - so it's not much. And it's an "invest" in the community.

Hi @chrisg95,

I wrote you an email some days ago and didn't received a reply so far. Did you get it? Maybe it gets lost in your spam folder?

I am also very interested in this. It seems it is a one-time only fee? Would an individual account suffice? Which region would it be for? Is this still an option?

I would be interested in this feature

[firecreeper]

would be great if you can adopt the features from KeePassOneDriveSync because i don't want to manage different plugins for the same issue
