Hey Ian Levy & nbf_menuna, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you please try disconnecting the integration from your account's Connected apps tab and re-connecting it anew from the App Center?

 

Let me know how it goes!

    Sorry to hear that, Ian.

     

    Can you clear your browser's cache and try once more?

     

    If you still get the same error, I'd appreciate a screenshot too.

      Same with me, removing and re-adding the office app didn't solve it. I get asked to allow office to acces files, and it then asks me to sign into my office account, which I click, and then I see the error 500 again.

        Have you tried clearing your browser's cache, to see if that helps, nbf_menuna?

         

        I'd also suggest you try from a different browser or a private browsing window.
