    On my M1 MacBook Air, I'm running Parallels Desktop for Mac Business Edition version 17.1.1 (51537). I'm trying to get OneDrive to run and sync files in a Windows 11 ARM VM. While I've read that OneDrive is part of Windows 11, the VMs I've created do not contain it. I downloaded it from Microsoft's site and installed it. When I enter my email address and attempt to sign-in it says, "There was a problem connecting to OneDrive". I press the "Personal" button, enter my password, and see a "Loading" indicator for 25-30 minutes after which it says, "Sorry, there is a problem with the OneDrive servers. Try again in a few minutes. (Error Code: 0x8004def5)"

    While I know that I can install OneDrive on the macOS host and share the files with the VM, that's not what I want to do. I need OneDrive contained within the VM.

    Update: I seem to have resolved the issue. After installing Microsoft Visio in the VM, I wan unable to login to Visio. My company had me install some security certificates in the VM which apparently resolves certification issues wherein various Microsoft and O365 domains are inaccessible from a Windows Parallels VM. This resolved both the Visio an OneDrive problems.
