OneDrive allows you to establish a connection with the Microsoft OneDrive service and enables the files list, download, upload and delete operations.

Take a look at the configuration parameters of the component:

  • Account: for the component to make the authentication of the OneDrive service, it's necessary to use an OAuth 2 account type of the Microsoft provider with at least the "offline_access" and "Files.ReadWrite.All" scope.

  • Operation: list, list search, pagination, list search, download, download by file ID, upload, delete.

  • Remote Directory: base remote directory, which can be relative (eg.: pub/tmp) or absolute (eg.: /root/pub). This parameter supports Double Braces.

  • Page Size: used in the list and list search operations, which refers to the amount of objects returned in the search.

  • Query: present in the list search operation. This parameter defines the type of search that will be made in the OneDrive directories. To know more about this filter, click here.

  • Next Page: present in the pagination operation.

IMPORTANT: if an OneDrive component that is executing the list or list search operation genertaes more results than Page Size, then a second OneDrive component can use the pagination operation and the Next Page parameter. It can occur manually or through Double Braces. Example: with {{ message. nextPage }}), more results of the previous operation will be shown.

  • File Name: file name or full file path. This parameter supports Double Braces.

  • Remote File Name: remote file name or relative path (eg.: tmp/file.txt) to the remote file. This parameter supports Double Braces.

  • File ID: unique identificator of a file.

  • Fail On Error: if the option is enabled, the execution of the pipeline with error will be interrupted; otherwise, the pipeline execution proceeds, but the result will show a false value for the “success” property.

IMPORTANT: notice some of the parameters above support Double Braces. To understand how this language works, read our article by clicking here.

"fileName": "file.ext",
"success": true
}

  • remoteDirectory: base remore directory path (relative or absolute)

  • remoteFileName: remote file path or remote file relative path

  • fileName: local file name

  • success: "true" if the operation was successful, "false" if otherwise

Download by file Id operation:

"fileId": "FILE_ID"
"fileName": "file.ext",
"success": true
}

  • fileId: unique identifier of the file

  • fileName: local file name

  • success: "true" if the operation was successful, "false" if otherwise

Upload operation:
