Do you have a OneDrive paid plan which is required to use the OneDrive Zap App?

You must have either a Business or Enterprise Microsoft 365 paid account.

Try removing the trailing / in the File field input after the mapped variable.

sneaky “/” marks!.  thnx.  removed.  but, now I’m back to the original “reconnection” issue (what’s diff this time is the actual connection doesn’t seem to be disconnected).

I do have a paid MS 365 plan, but it is Personal, not Business.  Mystery solved, it appears.  Thanks for all your help with my issue.  I really appreciate it.  I’ll have to figure out a transition plan to a business plan.

I’ve run into that "OneDrive connection keeps disconnecting" error a few times super annoying, especially when you’re relying on a workflow that’s otherwise solid. A few things I’ve found helpful:

  • Disconnect and reconnect the OneDrive app in Zapier’s My Apps area it forces a fresh OAuth token.

  • Clear your browser cache or switch browsers; sometimes stale cookies mess things up—this helped me in a similar case where "Zap stopped working… can no longer send file to OneDrive" community.zapier.com+15community.zapier.com+15community.zapier.com+15community.zapier.com.

  • Double-check your OneDrive plan hasn’t changed or run out—sometimes limits kick in silently.

Mattew, thnx for the additional information on this topic.  Old cache seems to be a cause of a lot of overall web activity! :(  I’ve had pretty good success lately, but I’ll add your suggestions to my root-cause troubleshooting next time I get an unexpected disconnect.   Thanks again.  -Bob
