Connect OneDrive

Connect a Microsoft OneDrive account once, then use it as the delivery destination for any of your upload forms. Files uploaded through a form route to the OneDrive account you connect here.

You connect an account from Cloud Connections, not from inside a form. After it's connected, it becomes available as a destination every time you build or edit a form.

Connect your account

1. In the left sidebar, click Cloud Connections.
2. Choose OneDrive. OneDrive and SharePoint share one option in the list. The first time you connect, the cloud provider options appear right on the Cloud Connections page. If you already have an account connected, click Connect new cloud account at the top right first, then choose it from the dialog that opens.

3. A Microsoft window opens. Enter the email, phone, or Skype for the Microsoft account you want to use, then click Next and finish signing in.

4. Review the permissions and click Accept. Microsoft asks to let EZ File Drop maintain access to the data you grant it, read your profile, and access your OneDrive files.

5. Microsoft returns you to Cloud Connections, where the account now appears under Your Connections. OneDrive and SharePoint use the same Microsoft sign-in, so the connection covers both.

If your organization blocks the connection

Some Microsoft 365 organizations require an administrator to approve third-party apps before anyone can connect them. If you see a message that an admin needs to grant approval, or the connection is blocked, contact your Microsoft 365 administrator and ask them to approve EZ File Drop. Once they approve it, repeat the steps above.

What EZ File Drop can access

When you connect, Microsoft asks you to approve access to your OneDrive files, including full access to files you can reach. This access looks broad because you can point a form at any folder you own as its destination, and EZ File Drop needs permission to write files there. EZ File Drop uses that permission only to deliver uploads: it writes the files people send through your forms, and it creates subfolders when a form organizes files. It also reads your profile to set up the connection. It does not read or browse the files you already keep in OneDrive. When a form delivers a file, that file is placed in the folder you chose and removed from EZ File Drop automatically after delivery.

Use the account on a form

A connected account isn't tied to any single form. Open any form's Build tab and choose your OneDrive account as the destination. The same account can be the destination for as many forms as you like.

To deliver to a SharePoint site instead, see Connect SharePoint. To connect more than one account, see Connect multiple cloud accounts.
