I am having trouble getting Akeeba backup to work with my One-Drive.  When I try to link One-drive on this screen (img 1)

using the authentication step 1 button and then select my personal one-drive, I get the following screen (img-2),

Obviously, I cannot go forward at this point.

 

Now if I select one of my business One-Drive accounts it will work and I can then paste the links to the form.  This indeed does work.  But I do not want to upload my personal site data to my business one-drive account but want to use my personal one-drive account included with Office-365.  

This is a problem.  I don't including a log will help because, yes Akeeba does backup the site and will load it to the correct drive on my server and if a business one-drive account is used to that location.  But your software cannot be linked to my personal One-Drive account.  It did work at one time when I linked it several months ago.

I cannot reproduce this issue on any of my sites. It looks like your browser is changing the request we send to our site's OAuth2 mediator service, either including a parameter which triggers the protection of the site or changing the URL itself (the address bar is cropped out in your screenshot so I can't tell you which one it is). This is either the result of a browser extension or something running on your site e.g. an Internet security application which screws up requests as they are coming off your browser. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen either of these doing something funky, breaking things that would not otherwise be broken...

Try using a different browser or a different computer. I just tried with Safari, Edge and Firefox on a Mac, a Windows and a Linux computer (obviously not with Safari on the latter two) without a problem.
