Microsoft OneDrive

Cognito Forms can automatically send files uploaded through your forms directly to OneDrive-no third-party tools required. Once connected, any file submitted through a File Upload field is synced to your OneDrive account when an entry is created or updated.

1. Open your form’s Build page and select a File Upload field.
2. In the field settings, enable Sync Files to Cloud Storage.
3. Select OneDrive as your storage provider and authorize access.
4. Configure the file integration:
   1. Connected Folder – The folder in your OneDrive account where synced files will be sent.
   2. Folder Path – The subfolder structure within the connected folder. Click Insert Field to build a dynamic path using tokens like the form name or field name.
   3. File Name – The name applied to synced files. Use tokens to generate a dynamic file name, or leave as the default to use the original file name.
   4. Fields to Sync – The File Upload fields on this form that will sync files to OneDrive.
5. Save the field settings.

Once saved, the integration is available across your organization and can be connected to other forms without re-authenticating. You can check the status of synced files at any time in the entry activity log.
