Hi, @jojonki I faced the same problem, did you solve it ?

[winddd]

same problem. Does anybody know how to solve it?

You are getting a 503: "503 Service Unavailable. The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server."

Can you make sure the ports for the proxy are correctly configured? Have you tried to set where to find NGROK: NGROK=PATH_TO_NGROK HTTPS_PROXY=http://my-proxy:my-proxy-port onedrived start --debug?

Did you installed ngrok via apt install ngrok? I remember having issues installing this way, I had to get the ngrok via their website: https://ngrok.com/download and put in a different place and tell onedrive where to find it, using the command above.
