Onedrive 2603 error with 8004e4c3

Subject: Unable to sign in to OneDrive for Mac (Error 2603, 8004e4c3) - School Account

Issue Description: I am unable to sign in to the OneDrive Sync Client on macOS.

However, I can successfully sign in to:OneDrive on the Web (tested in Incognito mode).

OneDrive on my Windows PC.Microsoft Word and Excel apps on this Mac (License activation works fine).

It is only the OneDrive Sync Client that fails with error codes 2603 and 8004e4c3 (No Network Connection).

Troubleshooting Steps I have already taken: To rule out local device issues, I have performed the following steps, but the issue persists:

Network & Security:Turned off and uninstalled all VPNs and Security Software (Kaspersky, Unicorn HTTPS).

Verified that Proxies are disabled in System Settings.Verified /etc/hosts file is clean.

Reset macOS Network Configuration (Deleted /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/*.plist and rebooted).Changed DNS to Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8).

Application & Authentication:Uninstalled the App Store version and installed the Standalone version (Pkg) from the official Microsoft website.

Ran the ResetOneDriveApp.command script inside the app package.

Cleared all Keychain entries related to OneDrive/Office.Completely removed Office License & Cache: Deleted all folders starting with ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9* (including OneAuth, EntraBroker, Office, OneDriveStandaloneSuite).

System Environment:Tested in Safe Mode, but the same error occurs.

My Request: Since I have completely reset the client-side network and authentication environment, this seems to be an issue with the tenant policy or account status.

Is there a Conditional Access Policy blocking unmanaged macOS devices from syncing OneDrive?

Do I need to enroll this Mac via Intune Company Portal to use the sync client?

Can you check the backend logs for my sign-in attempts?

Thx to read.

Dear @QaQ-1322

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum!

Thank you for sharing the details of your issue and for the tremendous effort you’ve put into troubleshooting this so far. I truly appreciate the time and steps you’ve taken to try and resolve this.

I want to be transparent with you: after reviewing all available resources, I haven’t found an official fix for this specific error on macOS. However, in a partially similar case on Windows, the issue was resolved by connecting through the institution’s VPN. While this isn’t a guaranteed solution for macOS, it might be worth giving it a try. You can consult this idea in here:

Before you attempt using your school’s VPN, I recommend testing the OneDrive Sync Client on another macOS device using the same current network in order to see if you still encounter this 2603 error on other Mac device.

If the problem persists even on another device, then trying your school (company) VPN option could be the next step.

I hope this information can give you more insights of this issue and please feel free to give any feedback in comment section.
