One drive File picker in a web app

Question

Hello, I'm developing a feature that involves users opening their one drive and pick files from both their personal, and company drives. I followed the guide on the documentation page but i can't seem to get it to work.

My question is what is the base url supposed to be - all the documentation show a static link i.e it was coded in and can only be used for one user or a small group of users. Secondly i get an invalid error, when I use said (my own) base url . I have no idea what could be causing this

Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Hello Oreoluwa, It sounds like you're experiencing two separate issues. Let's tackle them one at a time. Firstly, regarding the base URL, it's difficult to provide an answer without more context. Can you provide the documentation page you're referring to, or any more information on what you're trying to accomplish? Depending on the API or SDK you're using, the base URL could be different. It's possible that the static link you're seeing in the documentation is just an example and not the actual base URL you should be using. Secondly, regarding the invalid error, can you provide any more details about the error message you're seeing? It's possible that the error message could provide some clues as to what might be going wrong. Additionally, have you checked to make sure that you're using the correct authentication credentials and that you have the necessary permissions to access the files in both the personal and company drives? The more information you can provide, the easier it will be to help you troubleshoot the issue.
