@Slater91, I can't reproduce this issue and unfortunately you have not attached the log file requested in the issue template.

You can try stopping the sync of your account in the GUI and then adding the shared library. It appears the onedrive client does not allow the use of --get-sharepoint-drive-id option while the sync is running. This was previously fixed for older variant of the feature --get-O365-drive-id in abraunegg/onedrive#2106 .

Also ensure your file /home/<ACCOUNT_NAME>/.config/onedrive-gui/profiles contains line account_type = Business.

Feel free to re-open if you can provide more helpful details.

I don't have an account_type = Business in my profiles file.

I don't get anything in the log when I pick add account. All I see is the startup messages and version check (until I start sync of my account). Do you want the logs for that? It looks like it will need a lot of redaction.

account_type was empty, I edited it to Business by hand and then I was able to add the Sharepoint library.

Thanks for the details. I'll try to reproduce the issue with account type detection.

Just encountered this. The account was not detected just after adding the OneDrive profile on a fresh install. Simply quitting and restarting OneDriveGUI fixed it and the account was detected correctly.
