About Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft OneDrive is the cloud storage and file-sharing service built into Microsoft 365. It gives users a place to store documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other files with access from any device. For businesses on Microsoft 365, OneDrive is typically already available — it provides per-user storage, file versioning, sharing controls, and integration with the rest of the Microsoft ecosystem (Teams, SharePoint, Outlook).
The n8n OneDrive node lets you automate file operations — uploading, downloading, copying, moving, and sharing files as part of a workflow. This is useful for scenarios like automatically saving email attachments to a project folder, generating reports and storing them in a shared drive, collecting form submissions as files, or syncing documents between OneDrive and other cloud storage services.
Osher builds file automation workflows for Australian businesses that run on Microsoft 365. Common projects include automatically organising incoming documents into the right folder structure, generating PDFs from templates and uploading them to shared drives, and syncing files between OneDrive and external systems like client portals or CRMs. If your team spends time manually moving files around, our data processing team can automate those file workflows.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Microsoft OneDrive
As Microsoft OneDrive consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Microsoft OneDrive with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Register an Azure AD Application
Go to the Azure Portal, navigate to App Registrations, and create a new application. Set the redirect URI to your n8n instance’s OAuth callback URL. Under API permissions, add Microsoft Graph permissions for Files.ReadWrite (or Files.ReadWrite.All for organisation-wide access). Grant admin consent if required by your tenant.
Step 2
Configure n8n Credentials
In n8n, create a new Microsoft OneDrive credential. Enter the Application (Client) ID and Client Secret from your Azure AD app registration. Set the OAuth callback URL to match what you configured in Azure. Complete the OAuth flow by signing in with the Microsoft account that has access to the target OneDrive.
Step 3
Build Your File Workflow
Create a workflow that starts with your trigger (schedule, webhook, or another event) and add OneDrive nodes for the file operations you need. Common patterns include downloading files for processing, uploading generated reports, or copying files between folders based on metadata or naming conventions.
Step 4
Handle Folder Structures Dynamically
Use n8n expressions to construct folder paths based on data in your workflow. For example, create folders named by client or date, and check if they exist before uploading. The OneDrive node can list folder contents and create new folders as part of your workflow logic.
Step 5
Test with Sample Files
Run your workflow with test files of various sizes and types. Verify that files land in the correct folders, permissions are set correctly, and any downstream steps (like sending a sharing link or notifying a team member) work as expected. Check the execution log for any API errors.
Step 6
Set Up Monitoring and Error Handling
Add error handling nodes to catch issues like expired tokens, permission errors, or storage quota limits. Set up notifications for workflow failures so your team can intervene quickly. Schedule a periodic token refresh check to avoid authentication issues in long-running automations.
