WebDAV authentication issues (DAVx5) - HTTP 401

Hello Techcommunity,

 

I'm trying to mount my OneDrive-storage via WebDAV in the DAVx5 Android App. I've followed the description given by https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_microsoft_onedrive to get the necessary WebDAV URL, User ID and app password.

The login window in DAVx5 has the following fields:

 

  1. Display Name (arbitrary)
  2. WebDAV URL
  3. User Name
  4. Password

I've entered the information/credentials in the following format:

 

  1. OneDrive
  2. https://d.docs.live.net/USERIDABCDEFGHIJ
  3. [email address]
  4. apppassword

Of course I used the actual ID, username/email and app password, that I checked multiple times and am certain are accurate.

When I try to Add Mount, DavX5 displays the error HTTP 401, which apparently points to an authentication issue.

 

Please let me know if there is a mistake in the way I enter my credentials. If there is nothing wrong with the information, perhaps it is a problem with the app, and I'll have to open an issue on GitHub.

 

Thank you for your help!

J.B.
