Attach cloud files in Copilot fail on multiple devices with personal account

Question

Attach cloud files in Copilot fail on multiple devices with personal account

Antti Vilenius 0

Microsoft 365 Personal account OneDrive works normally and files are accessible. Copilot "Attach cloud files" fails on multiple devices with error "Something went wrong - unauthenticated". Regular file upload works. Issue persists across devices and InPrivate browser sessions.

When using school account Copilot "Attach cloud files" works on the same device.

Potentially related - on the same Personal account Microsoft Defender web portal login works but Defender application cannot sign in ("Unable to log into Microsoft Defender") on one device but can on another.

Hello Antti Vilenius,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Before we proceed, may I know if the issue appears also on the Copilot app?

I'm waiting for your reply.

Hi @Carl-L I don't apparently have that version of copilot. In Settings Sources I find these: Github, Notion, Canva, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Gmail, Google Drive, Paypal. No Microsoft tools, OneDrive included.

Hello Antti Vilenius,

Thanks for replying.

Can you please also check the "+" button on the chatbox, select "Use connectors" and let me know if you can see OneDrive there?

Same data sources can be found through the + button. Today there are a few more 3rd party sources available to choose from but no OneDrive.

Hello Antti Vilenius,

Thanks for replying.

In this case, it'd be better if someone can directly look at your issue to check. Unfortunately, forum moderators are unable to do so. In this case, please contact Microsoft Support. You can also send a feedback through the Feedback button on the apps.

Thank you for your understanding.

My M365 Personal plan was apparently updated and now attaching cloud files works. Didn't even need a reboot.
