Cannot Map Network Drive to OneDrive

Question

I have this primary OneDrive account, which has the same login as the entire computer on 2 different computers. This works perfectly, then earlier today i wanted to pair another OneDrive account as a mapped network drive. On computer #1 it worked flawlessly so i know i am doing it right, i right-click Network in the File Explorer, Map Network Drive..., enter a drive letter, enter the "https://d.docs.live.net/CID", reconnect at sign-in, and Finish, then i simply logged in and everything was perfect, it synced up to OneDrive and everything.

But, it did not go as smoothly when doing it on computer #2. I did the exact same thing, but now it shows up with a Network Error message box when i click Finish. It says "Windows cannot access https://d.docs.live.net/CID" with large bleu text and underneath in black smaller text it says "Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose."

I tried running diagnostics by just pressing the button in the message box, but it said it found no problems. I even rebooted the computer in Safe Mode with Networking, still same problem. I also tried with "\d.docs.live.net@rithansodo \DavWWWRoot\CID\" still doesn't work, the exact same error.

Sorry if i over-explained this, i just don't want ANY confusion, i saw tons of questions like this where the answer was literally to do exactly what i have done, to no avail. Please help.

Hi @Jamie Engel ,

Have you tried to use the full path of your OneDrive location?

For example.

Sometimes this is linked to how the process of mapping the network using OneDrive was configured, see the topic below which will deal with a problem similar to yours:

Busy with this also. But adding via https://d.docs.live.net/{CID_NUMBER} gives me an acces denied error. And credentials are copied. How to fix this? Navigating to the URL leads to the screenshots' page.

I had the same issue - spent time with support, and the path that worked for us was:
