SharePoint (2003 thru Online): OneDrive is not provisioned for this user

OneDrive is not provisioned for this user

Case: OneDrive is not provisioned for this user



Solution: We have two scenarios for accessing OneDrive.

1. Login thru the Client installed with Office Pro plus, which creates a local OneDrive Folder.
2. Login thru the Web, creates a personal site under SharePoint 'My Sites' Site Collection.

Both are interdependent. Because Sync of Items plays a key role.

Though, you install OneDrive Client and try to login, you cannot login because you are not provisioned to create Personal Site. If you click on OneDrive icon in web, it may re-direct to Delve (https://delve.office.com/).

Enable "Create Personal Site" option.

Go to SharePoint admin center >> user profiles >> Manage User Permissions
Note: We can also include specific groups, if not needed for Everyone.

After enabling the above Permissions, You should be able to login into the OneDrive with your Office Account and also Personal Account.

1. Login with Office Account creates a OneDrive folder with Tenant Name

2. Go to OneDrive Try Icon and right click on it to get the below screen.



Click on Settings >> Account tab. Click on 'Add an account' to add you Personal Microsoft Account. 

It creates a folder with Personal (as shown below)

Startup activity will be created in Windows to take care of the Sync Activity.
