Description
Steps to reproduce
- install nextcloud/sharepoint app
- create O365 OneDrive external storage, according to provided documentation at https://github.com/nextcloud/sharepoint#how-to-add-office-365-onedrive
Expected behaviour
connectivity to the (Sharepoint-based) O365 OneDrive share
Actual behaviour
NextCloud error :
"External mount error
There was an error with message: Empty response from the server"
Server configuration
NC21
More info
- The O365 OneDrive share is protected with 2FA (TOTP).
- The nextcloud/sharepoint app documentation is copied verbatim from rclone (with its reference : https://rclone.org/webdav/#sharepoint-online ), but omits this specific (and essential) rclone clause : "... If you have 2FA enabled, you have to generate an app password. ..."
If nextcloud/sharepoint is unable to cope with 2FA, this should be highlighted in the documentation.

Research direction
Start with the SharePoint app documentation linked in the issue and compare it with the referenced rclone SharePoint guidance, especially the clause about 2FA and app passwords. Determine whether the app should support TOTP-protected O365 OneDrive or document the required limitation; done means the behavior or documentation clearly explains how 2FA users can connect.
