Import From Microsoft OneDrive

The Import From Microsoft OneDrive node downloads files from Microsoft OneDrive into a dataflow. It uses Microsoft Graph APIs to securely access files and retrieve both file content and metadata, and supports importing either a single file or multiple files from a folder.

How it works:

  1. Select a valid connection to Microsoft OneDrive.
  2. Choose whether to import a File or a Folder.
  3. Select the file or folder using the picker.
  4. The node downloads the file(s).
  5. The output contains one row per file, including metadata and file content.
Setting Required Description
Connection Yes A Microsoft Office 365 connection or an OAuth2 connection (Microsoft Graph).
Selection Yes Choose whether to import a File or a Folder.
File / Folder Yes Opens a picker to select a single file or a folder, depending on the Selection.

File: downloads the selected file and outputs exactly one row.

Folder: retrieves all items in the selected folder, filters out subfolders, downloads each file individually, and outputs one row per file. Only files directly inside the selected folder are included: subfolders and their contents are not processed (non-recursive).

Each row represents a downloaded file:

Column Description
Id OneDrive item ID of the file
FileName Name of the file
Extension File extension (e.g. .pdf)
Size File size in bytes
File The downloaded file
MimeType MIME type (e.g. application/pdf)
Created Creation date
Modified Last modified date
CreatedBy User who created the file
ModifiedBy User who last modified the file
WebUrl Direct OneDrive URL to the file
  • Use Folder selection for batch processing multiple files.
  • Be aware that folder import is not recursive.
  • Ensure the connection has permission to read the selected files.
  • Each file is fully downloaded and included in the File column.
  • File availability depends on user permissions in OneDrive.
