OneDrive

The Intric OneDrive integration lets you use files from your personal Microsoft OneDrive directly in AI conversations. Once connected, you can ask an assistant to find, browse, and read your documents — without leaving Intric.

The integration is read-only. Intric can never create, modify, or delete files in your OneDrive.

What the assistant can do with OneDrive

When the OneDrive integration is enabled on an assistant, the assistant gains the ability to:

• Browse your OneDrive — list the files and folders in your OneDrive
• Browse folders — explore the contents of a folder, one level at a time
• Search for files — search across your OneDrive using Microsoft’s search index, matching file names, content, and metadata
• Read file content — download and extract text from a file so the assistant can reason about its contents

The assistant decides which of these actions to take based on your question — you don’t need to navigate your files yourself.

Supported file types

The assistant can read the content of the following file types:

• PDF (.pdf)
• Word documents (.docx)
• Excel spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx)
• PowerPoint presentations (.pptx)

Other file types (including plain text files) can be browsed and found via search, but their contents cannot be read by the assistant.

How to connect your Microsoft account

Before you can use OneDrive in a conversation, you need to connect your Microsoft account:

1. Go to My Integrations on New Intric (v4)
2. Find the OneDrive integration and click Connect
3. Sign in with your Microsoft account and approve the requested permissions

Once connected, any assistant with the OneDrive integration enabled can access your OneDrive on your behalf.

Your personal permissions apply: Intric only accesses files in your own OneDrive. It cannot access another user’s OneDrive, shared drives, or SharePoint document libraries through this integration. For organization sites, use SharePoint instead.

Admin consent and organizational requirements

Whether you can connect your account yourself depends on how your organization has configured Microsoft Entra.

Many organizations — particularly those with strict security policies — disable the ability for individual users to consent to third-party OAuth apps. In those environments, an Entra administrator must grant consent on behalf of the organization before anyone can connect. If you see an error when trying to connect, or the integration does not appear in My Integrations, contact your Intric administrator and refer them to the OneDrive setup guide.

Using OneDrive in a conversation

You don’t need to specify commands or navigate manually. Simply describe what you’re looking for in natural language. For example:

• “Find the project proposal I saved last week”
• “What does the contract in my Legal folder say about termination?”
• “Are there any spreadsheets in my Finance folder from this year?”

The assistant will search and browse your OneDrive to find relevant files, then read and summarise the content for you.

Limitations

• Read-only: the assistant cannot create, edit, upload, or delete files
• Your OneDrive only: the integration accesses your personal OneDrive, not shared drives or SharePoint sites (use SharePoint for those)
• File types: only PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files can be read; other formats can be found but not opened
• Folder browsing is one level at a time: finding deeply nested files may take a few steps
• Admin consent may be required: in organizations where user consent to third-party apps is restricted, an Entra administrator must first grant consent (see the setup guide)

Disconnecting your Microsoft account

To disconnect, go to My Integrations and click Disconnect next to the OneDrive integration. Intric will immediately stop accessing your OneDrive. Your Microsoft account and files are unaffected.

If you have also connected SharePoint, Teams, or Outlook, those connections remain active and are managed separately. See Microsoft Teams and Outlook.
