Error when adding application to M-Files Online Vault

Question

Running into a problem when attempting to add an application/connector to our online vault. I have tried a few apps from the M-Files catalogue and I am getting a message saying "This server doesn't accept unsigned applications". In the instructions for the Sharepoint Online connector it links to https://userguide.m-files.com/user-guide/latest/eng/adding_a_connector.html but this results in the error message. Is there a different way that apps/connectors are supposed to be added to an online/web vault? 
 Thanks!

It looks like that one has not been signed yet (the signing process happens when a new version is released, and it looks like we've not updated that one very recently). There may also be some other reason why this one is not self-installable (maybe it needs some server-level configuration). 
 In the first instance you can contact our cloud team (via support@m-files.com ) and request that it's added. They can work with you if they need additional details. 
 Alongside this I will also ping the internal Product Owner for this and just let them know that people are requesting signed versions.

Is this in the M-Files Cloud? 
 Almost all M-Files Cloud environments (the only exception being Isolated services in the new cloud infrastructure) require that applications are signed to be installed by vault administrators. Signed versions should exist for most first-party M-Files applications (e.g. for the Compliance Kit , under Licensing and Downloads you can see the signed release), and we're signing new releases that we make. 
 For applications where a signed version of a first-party application does not yet exist, you can contact the cloud teams to get them installed. 
 Third-party applications should be signed as part of their cloud validation process.

A quick note that the M-Files Connector for SharePoint Online has just been updated and a signed version is available: M-Files for MS Teams and SharePoint Online | M-Files Catalog 
 Note that some configuration still needs sysadmin (in our cloud: this is us, not you, unfortunately) rights, but we have tracker item 166963 open internally to track this requirement.
