Export To Microsoft OneDrive
The Export To Microsoft OneDrive node uploads files from a dataflow to Microsoft OneDrive. It uses Microsoft Graph APIs to securely store files in the OneDrive environment, ensuring reliable authentication and permission handling.
How it works:
- Select a valid connection to Microsoft OneDrive.
- Choose the destination folder using the folder browser.
- Select the input type (File or Base64).
- Configure the required columns based on the selected input type.
- The node uploads the file(s) to the selected OneDrive folder.
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”| Setting | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Yes | A Microsoft Office 365 connection or an OAuth2 connection (Microsoft Graph). |
| Folder | Yes | Opens a folder browser dialog to select the destination folder in OneDrive. |
| Input type | Yes | Defines how the file is provided: File or Base64. |
| File(s) column | Yes (File) | The column that contains the file(s) to upload. |
| Base64 column | Yes (Base64) | The column that contains the Base64-encoded file content. |
| Filename column | Yes (Base64) | The column that contains the file name. |
Input type
Section titled “Input type”File: use this when working with a column of type File. The column already contains the file name and file content, so no additional configuration is required besides selecting the column.
Base64: use this when the file content is provided as Base64-encoded data. The Base64 column only contains the file content, so a separate Filename column is required since Base64 does not include a file name.
- The connection must have sufficient permissions to write files to OneDrive.
- Ensure filenames are valid and unique to avoid conflicts.
- Use File input when possible for simpler configuration.
- Large files may take longer to upload depending on network conditions.
