About OneDrive

OneDrive is Microsoft's comprehensive cloud storage solution that serves as the unified files app across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Teams use OneDrive to store files, sync across devices, collaborate in real-time, manage versions, share documents with granular permissions, and leverage AI-powered Copilot features for file summarization and comparison.

The OneDrive Microsoft Graph API enables developers to:

• Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow for user-delegated access or client credentials flow for app-only authentication

• Access and manage files, folders, drives, and sharing permissions

• Upload files up to 100 GB, download content, and manage file metadata

• Create shareable links with configurable permissions and expiration dates

• Track version history, restore previous versions, and recover deleted files

• Subscribe to webhooks for real-time notifications on file and folder changes

• Integrate with SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, and other Microsoft 365 services

Why Integrate OneDrive with Emergent?

Connecting OneDrive directly often requires setting up Microsoft app registration, managing OAuth 2.0 flows, handling access and refresh tokens, parsing Microsoft Graph API responses, implementing file upload chunking for large files, wiring webhooks, building retry logic, and creating a user interface. Each integration can quickly turn into a significant engineering project.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Build by prompt: Describe the file management app you want and the OneDrive data you need. Emergent automatically scaffolds the UI, orchestration, data models, and integrations.

• Authentication-aware setup: Emergent understands OneDrive's Microsoft Graph API authentication methods (OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow and client credentials) and guides you through secure credential management with encrypted key vaults.

• File-aware data mapping: Emergent introspects your OneDrive storage, understands files, folders, drives, sharing permissions, metadata, and version history, and helps you map data accurately.

• Secure by design: Features include encrypted key vaults, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for teams with strict data handling and compliance requirements.

• Real-time workflows: Webhooks for file changes, scheduled syncs, chunked file uploads, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability.

• Orchestrate multiple tools: Combine OneDrive with Salesforce, Slack, SharePoint, Google Sheets, and Airtable to build complete systems such as document management platforms, automated file tracking systems, cross-platform sync engines, and unified content hubs.

How Emergent Works with OneDrive in Real Time?

STEP 1: Describe your app

Example: "Build a document management system that syncs OneDrive files with Salesforce records, posts file change notifications to Slack, and tracks file metadata in Google Sheets."

STEP 2: Declare integrations

Say "OneDrive plus Salesforce plus Slack plus Google Sheets." Emergent sets up providers, authentication, and recommended connection methods (OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow or client credentials).

STEP 3: Secure credentials

Provide your Microsoft app registration credentials (Application ID, Client Secret, Redirect URI) for OAuth 2.0 authentication. Keys are stored in an encrypted vault with environment isolation (development, staging, production).

STEP 4: Select drives and map files

Emergent automatically introspects your OneDrive storage, including drives, folders, files, metadata, sharing permissions, and version history.

It then guides you to map data accurately (for example, OneDrive folder to Salesforce account documents, file change events to Slack notifications, file metadata to Google Sheets rows).

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure webhook triggers for OneDrive events (file created, modified, deleted, shared), set up scheduled syncs, or define on-demand actions such as file uploads triggered by button clicks in the app.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, simulate webhook payloads, validate file uploads and downloads with chunking for large files, check logs, and automatically handle rate limits.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back or iterate on prompts.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new steps like AI-powered file classification using Copilot, connect additional tools, and integrate new OneDrive drives without any rewrites.
