I Had successfully authorized Microsoft to be used with my Joplin on PC  
but on mobile i have a little confusion, I changed the "Syncronization target" to one drive and expected to get some kind of log in window tu enter my Microsoft credentials but nothing of that sort happened?  
am i doing something wrong?

I've made the mistake of clicking the “←” arrow instead of the save button before! Make sure you click “save” — there's no warning that changed settings won't be saved.

I think it comes up when you actually hit "synchronise" for the first time after you saved the setting.
