For details of consenting to the AvePoint Online Services app, refer to the What If Your Tenant Does Not Allow Users to Consent to Apps? section.

*Note: If your Microsoft 365 account does not exist, but your tenant is present in AvePoint Online Services, the Join AvePoint Online Services page will appear. To request to join the existing tenant, contact your Service Administrator for an invitation to AvePoint Online Services.
