Microsoft OneDrive + Konnectify

Learn how to integrate and use Microsoft OneDrive with Konnectify to automate file management, folder organization, and document workflows across your connected applications.

What is Microsoft OneDrive?

Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud-based file storage and sharing service that allows individuals and businesses to securely store, access, sync, and collaborate on files from anywhere. It supports real-time collaboration, file versioning, secure sharing, and seamless integration with Microsoft 365 applications.

Why integrate via Konnectify?

By integrating Microsoft OneDrive with Konnectify, you can automate file and folder workflows without writing code. Konnectify allows OneDrive to connect with your CRM, project management tools, internal systems, and other business applications so that files, folders, and document updates flow automatically between systems. This ensures better document organization, faster collaboration, reduced manual effort, and consistent data management across platforms.

What You Can Do with Microsoft OneDrive in Konnectify?

When Microsoft OneDrive is connected to Konnectify, you can build powerful automations such as:

• Automatically create folders when new projects, deals, or users are created in other systems
• Automatically upload files from forms, CRMs, or email attachments to OneDrive
• Sync documents between OneDrive and other storage platforms
• Find and retrieve file or folder details dynamically within workflows
• Copy files or folders into structured directories based on workflow logic
• Delete outdated or temporary files automatically
• Maintain organized folder structures across teams and departments

These automations help reduce manual file handling, improve collaboration, and maintain structured document storage across connected systems.

Konnectify uses Microsoft Graph API to securely interact with your Microsoft OneDrive account. The API allows external platforms to create, read, update, copy, move, and delete files and folders programmatically.

• Create files and folders
• Retrieve file and folder metadata
• Upload and download file content
• Search files and folders by name
• Copy or move files and folders
• Delete files and folders
• Manage sharing permissions

Microsoft OneDrive supports API authentication using:

• OAuth 2.0 (recommended)
• Microsoft account authorization

You will need to authorize Konnectify to access your OneDrive account during connection setup.

• API access depends on your Microsoft 365 or OneDrive plan
• Proper permissions are required to create, delete, or manage files and folders
• Large file uploads may require chunked upload handling
• Deleted files may move to recycle bin depending on account configuration
• Folder and file paths must match exactly as configured in your OneDrive

For detailed API references, request and response parameters, and examples, refer to the official Microsoft Graph documentation.

Before creating the workflow, ensure you have:

• A valid Microsoft OneDrive account
• Required permissions to access files and folders
• Access to the Konnectify platform
• Permission to create and manage connections in Konnectify
