Windows – Using OneDrive with a Domain User account on Windows 8.1

onedrivewindows 8.1windows-domain

Is there any workarounds for getting OneDrive to work on a Windows domain account? I have connected my domain account to my personal Microsoft account however OneDrive does not work. The modern UI OneDrive app only says "There was a problem opening this location.. Please try again" The %USERPROFILE%\OneDrive folder is also empty…

I have tried a clean install of Windows 8.1 as well as fresh domain profiles… I remember SkyDrive used to work perfectly with my Microsoft connected domain account in Windows 8.

Is anyone else experiencing this or have a solution please?

EDIT: Just to add, if I create a seperate user account on my computer using my Microsoft account, Settings Sync and OneDrive etc works perfectly. This is only happening with my Windows Domain account.

Use the latest OneDrive sync client (or "Next Gen Sync Client") as it allows you to sync personal and OneDrive for Business accounts to domain joined and non-domain joined computers.
