What is it?

The OneDrive for Business Integrations widget provides a portal into your existing personal OneDrive files from within your digital workplace. Through it, you can view, add, and download files in OneDrive.

How to add a OneDrive Integrations widget

1. Add a widget

Add an integration widget to your page. Follow the steps outlined in the Widgets article for adding widgets, and select the Integrations widget. When a member attempts to sign into the widget with their organizational email the widget will automatically select the OneDrive instance associated with the email. If you would like to control what OneDrive instance is being used specify the API Base URL found in the Advanced Options

2. Select OneDrive for Business from the list of integrations

Click the Edit button on the integration widget you just placed. While on the Options tab, select the OneDrive for Business icon.

Unless you would like to further customize the setup of the OneDrive integration widget, you can publish the page. When a member attempts to log in to the widget with their organizational email the widget will detect the appropriate settings for the member.

3. Optional - Set the Tenant ID

The Tenant ID is a unique ID that identifies your organization's subscription to Azure. For most organizations using the default value of common should be sufficient to use this widget. Refer to Microsoft's article, Find your Office 365 tenant ID, for instructions on locating this value.

4. Optional - Set the Initial Folder Path

By default, this value is “/”. To display a specific folder and its contents enter the name of that folder.

For example, use “/Legal” to only display your Legal folder and its contents.

5. Optional - Configure advanced options
