Onedrive.com Error Code 103

I recently updated the password on my account, but now I am unable to access my files on OneDrive. When I sign in on the web, I get the error message "Something went wrong. Error code: 103" and the page just reloads endlessly.

Similarly, I am unable to access any files in the OneDrive app for iPhone. When trying to open a file, it never downloads and eventually the error message is displayed "The file can't be displayed. Sorry, there was a problem opening the viewer."

    Hi,

    I've just had this issue in Firefox too. What worked for me:

    Firefox >

    Settings (hamburger menu, top right) >

    Privacy & Security (sidebar) >

    Cookies & Site Data (main pane)

    Click on "Manage Data"

    Enter "Live.com" in "search web site" field

    Make sure live.com is highlighted in list & press delete key to remove all cookies (this will log you out of OneDrive in the browser)

    I closed the browser window I had been using for OneDrive (not sure if this is absolutely necessary. But [shrugs])

    open a new browser window

    log in to OneDrive

    Resolved Error 103/flashing window & I can now view recent files

    HTH

    none of the other solutions are working for me - but I also have AdBlocker. I made an exception for OneDrive, tried accessing and still get error 103 when trying to get to files that have been shared with me.

    Thanks anyway

    Yes - it seems like there's some requirement to use Edge, AFAICT.

    Seems very much like some of the other rather despicable business practices by Microsoft...SMDH. :(
