Is it possible to sign into OneNote for Mac with two accounts? How?

Romit Mehta Yes, you can 🙂 File/Open Notebook. Then at the bottom select "+ Add a Place." This will prompt you to OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint. It sounds like you should be selecting "OneDrive" to then get the prompt to login to that personal account. Once that is added you can click on that profile to navigate through the file structure to the notebook.

Hi Emily,
I'm running in an issue when trying to add my personal (live) onedrive storage to the OneNote / Office business account: I'm asked to enter my credentials and I get all the time the same message:
"This account type is not valid for this service" or similar, as I get this error in German and have tried to translate it ...
But this setup for OneNote, using two accounts in parallel, was working for the last year or so. I guess, this is rooted to the fact, I switched my Edge account from my personal login to the business account. But that is just a guess ...
When trying to add the onedrive storage account, I'm able to select a business sharepoint, the business onedrive or personal onedrive. When getting to the credentials, I'm told, I may enter my login, phone or skype id. As skype is listed, seems, I'm with the correct onedrive version. Nevertheless, my personal account infos are not accepted. When trying to enter my business login details, very weird, I get the same error message! And also weird: After having entered my personal account email address, I'm sent to the next window for confirmation of this email address and there is an option for addt. login methods. When selecting this option, I'm sent to the list of options and the list of organizations. So this looks like, this is the login scheme for business onedrive.
What is wrong? I updated onedrive and onenote to the latest version.
I restarted my MacBook.
What else can I do?
Cheers,
Alexander
