Microsoft has now changed the maximum duration of application secrets, which can now only be set to expire at a maximum of 2 years.

Therefore, following the following tutorial configuration can be a lot more difficult than expected.

If you don't want to use the following method to apply, you can comment and contact me to buy, each account is 50/year, you can customize the prefix (prefix), the final account is

(prefix)@tsinbei.com

After purchase, the default OneDrive capacity is 5TB. It is best to keep it active. If it is not active, the OneDrive capacity will be reduced to 1TB. If normal use is more than 4.9TB, there is a probability that you can apply for free up to 25TB, but if you try to copy and paste the space, you will be banned.

1. Microsoft E5 Developer Program

Office 365 Developer Edition E5 is provided for developers and is an official event of Microsoft. If you apply for the Office 365 Developer Program, you can get 3 months of free Office 365, and you can renew it for free if you meet certain requirements.

The Office 365 E5 plan includes 25 licenses for almost all Office 365 apps.

It may be used when registering an account and receiving SMS verification codes. If the verification code cannot be sent and the tool needs to be used, it is recommended to keep the tool connected throughout the process.

Microsoft accounts are basically not invalid after logging in, so strange problems may occur, so you can use Chrome's Privacy Tab or Microsoft Edge's InPrivate Mode.

Follow the operation to ensure a relatively stable renewal. Please check whether GitHub Actions is still running from time to time, because Actions will be deactivated if there is no commit in the GitHub repository for 60 days, and an email will be sent to notify you before deactivation:

You can click the link in the email to open GitHub and continue running Actions. So, Be sure to keep your GitHub mailbox accessible!

Modify the default storage to 5120GB

7. Free renewal

One month before the expiration, Microsoft will manually detect the account activity, and the detected indicators are the calling of each API.
Therefore, we can use OneIndex or OlaIndex to build a OneDrive online file browser, or use Cloudreve to build a network disk to connect with OneDrive.

If the renewal is successful, you will receive an email:

Notice of successful renewal

For specific methods, please refer to the article on this site:

Advantages: Free, no need to buy a server, no need to worry about deployment, stable API call, almost 100% renewal rate guaranteed.

Disadvantages: deployment is troublesome, you need to apply for Azure applications, bind application secrets, etc., and application secrets need to be replaced every 2 years.
