What is Microsoft OneDrive?
Microsoft OneDrive is Microsoft’s cloud storage service for securely storing, sharing, and collaborating on files and documents across devices and Microsoft 365 apps.
By integrating OneDrive with Konnectify, you can automate file and folder operations (create, find, copy, delete) and trigger workflows when content changes—reducing manual
work in document-heavy processes.

What you can automate
•Detect new files added to a folder and kick off downstream workflows
•Detect updates to existing files and propagate changes across systems
•Create standardized folder structures (per client, project, or ticket)
•Create or upload new files from generated content (PDFs, exports, reports)
•Find a file/folder by name or ID to drive conditional logic and routing
•Copy or delete items automatically as part of retention or handoff workflows
API & authentication
Authentication: OAuth 2.0 authorization
Konnectify connects to Microsoft OneDrive using OAuth 2.0 via Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID) and Microsoft Graph API. During authorization, you’ll sign in
to Microsoft and grant access; Konnectify stores tokens securely and does not store your Microsoft password.
What the integration can do
- Monitor OneDrive for new or updated files and folders (polling triggers)
- Create folders and create/upload files
- Find files/folders by name or ID and retrieve details (and file content where supported)
- Copy or delete files and folders to support lifecycle and archival workflows
Rate limits & service constraints
Microsoft Graph enforces throttling and may return 429/503 responses under heavy load. Design workflows with reasonable polling intervals, avoid large bursts, and use retries
where available. Availability can also depend on your Microsoft 365 tenant policies and permissions.

How to connect Microsoft OneDrive to Konnectify
Prerequisites
- A Microsoft account with access to OneDrive (personal or Microsoft 365)
- An Azure/Entra ID App Registration with a Client ID and Client Secret
- Admin consent/permissions as required by your tenant policies
- A Konnectify account and a workflow to add the OneDrive step to
Add Microsoft OneDrive to a Workflow
- Open your Konnectify workflow (or create a new one).
- Click Add step and choose Microsoft OneDrive.
Authorize via OAuth 2.0
- Enter your Client ID and Client Secret when prompted.
- Sign in to Microsoft and grant the requested permissions.
Configure the Trigger or Action
- Select a trigger (for monitoring) or an action (for file/folder operations).
- Provide required inputs such as folder/file identifiers, names, or destination paths.
- Map fields from previous steps where needed (e.g., file name, content, destination folder).
Important
Be careful with Delete File or Folder: deletions are permanent in many workflows. Test in a non-production folder first and add safeguards (filters /
approvals) where possible.
Test the Workflow
- Run a test for the OneDrive step.
- Verify outputs (IDs, names, paths) and ensure file content is handled correctly.
Activate the Workflow
- Turn on the workflow.
- Monitor the run history for initial executions and fine-tune polling intervals/filters as needed.

Popular automations
Examples of common Microsoft OneDrive workflows you can build in Konnectify using the available triggers and actions.
Auto-organize new uploads into a standardized structure
When a new file is detected, create a destination folder (if needed) and copy the file into that folder for consistent organization.
New File
→
Create Folder
→
Copy File or Folder
Create a “project kickoff” folder when a folder appears
When a new folder is created (e.g., a project root), automatically create subfolders for assets, deliverables, and approvals.
New Folder

Create Folder
Look up a file and retrieve content for processing
When a file is updated, find the file by name or ID and use the returned content/metadata in downstream steps (e.g., parsing, approvals, or distribution).
Updated File
→
Find File
Clean up or archive content based on a rule
When a folder is updated (e.g., marked complete), find the folder and then delete or copy its contents to an archive location.

FAQ
How does authentication work for Microsoft OneDrive in Konnectify?
Konnectify uses OAuth 2.0 with Microsoft identity platform. You provide an Azure/Entra App Registration Client ID and Client Secret,
then sign in to Microsoft to grant access. Konnectify securely stores access/refresh tokens (not your Microsoft password).
Which Microsoft plans are supported?
Most OneDrive personal and Microsoft 365 business/enterprise plans work as long as Microsoft Graph API access is permitted and the user/admin grants the required permissions.
Tenant security policies may restrict consent or app access.
Are OneDrive triggers real-time (webhooks) or polling?
All triggers in this connector are polling triggers. Konnectify checks OneDrive at intervals to detect new or updated files/folders. If you need lower latency,
reduce the polling interval (within your plan/limits) and keep folders narrowly scoped.
How do I prevent duplicates when using polling triggers?
This connector does not include an explicit “upsert” action. To reduce duplicates, use stable identifiers (like OneDrive item ID), add workflow filters, and store the last
processed ID/timestamp in your workflow (or in an external datastore) before taking create/copy actions.
What happens if Microsoft Graph rate limits my workflow?
Microsoft Graph may throttle requests (commonly HTTP 429). If this occurs, slow down polling frequency, avoid large parallel runs, and design workflows to batch/queue work
(where possible). Re-trying after the recommended backoff is typically required for stability.
Can I connect multiple OneDrive accounts or tenants?
Yes. You can create multiple connections in Konnectify (each authorized separately). For multi-tenant environments, ensure your Azure/Entra app registration and consent
settings match your organization’s security requirements.
Does “Copy File or Folder” preserve permissions and sharing links?
Not always. In OneDrive/Graph, copied items may inherit permissions from the destination, and existing share links may not carry over. If your workflow relies on permissions,
validate the destination sharing model and apply access controls after copying when needed.
