Cannot Create or Open Notebook in OneNote on Mac. "Please sign in with a valid OneDrive or Sharepoint Account"

It is asking name, but in the Where part, I am not able to enter any value.

I have one existing notebook in One drive also. But not able to connect that noteboook either from Mac. I am using MAC OS Sequoia V15.5.

I have one existing notebook in Onedrive. How to access that notebook from Macbook Onenote app?

I have not purchased anything. These are all free versions.

Thanks,

Manabendra

    I think that onenote isn’t blocking u… it just never got a valid onedrive token on this mac, so the location field stays frozen. sign out of both onenote and the mac’s office account, then sign back in with the account that owns the notebook. the onedrive link wakes up after that.
