For
organizations that keep their images and videos in OneDrive
Prerequisite
the OneDrive app is installed, and you may manage apps
Where in the portal
Library › Places · Apps › OneDrive › Connected accounts
On this page

If your images and videos already live in OneDrive, connect your Microsoft account once. Your OneDrive folders then appear in the Library under Places, and you can import single files or keep a whole folder in sync.

Steps

Connect your account

  1. Open Apps and then the page of the OneDrive app.
  2. Under Connected accounts, click the button to connect Microsoft OneDrive.
  3. Sign in with Microsoft and confirm the access. The account then shows Connected.

The connected account belongs to your organization, not to the person who connected it, so it stays when someone leaves your team.

The page of the OneDrive app with the Connected accounts section before the first connection: the Connect Microsoft OneDrive button (1) above the note that no account is connected yet

Import single files

  1. Open the Library. Places appears in the sidebar, above the trash.
  2. Open a OneDrive folder.
  3. For a file, choose Import into library and pick the Target folder.

Keep a folder in sync

  1. Open the OneDrive folder and choose Keep folder in sync.
  2. The folder now shows Kept in sync and appears under Folders kept in sync. New and changed files arrive in your library on their own.
  3. Sync now starts a sync right away, and Stop ends it.

Check the result

Imported files appear as tiles in the target folder. Their details name where they came from. A synced folder shows when it last ran.

If something goes wrong
