Parameters

Parameter Required Options
Name: DriveId

Label: Drive Id / Shared Folder

Specify a drive 		YES
Name: FileId

Label: File Id or Path (e.g. root:/somefolder/myfile.xyz: ) - Max 1000 Listed

Specify a File Id or Path. Syntax: [{file-id}] -OR- [root:/{file-path}:] (Example: root:/folder/subfolder/myfile.xyz: ) 		YES
Name: GroupOrUserId

Label: Default Group or User Id (additional Scopes needed to list - If fails enter manually)

To list all users and groups from your organizations you need additional scopes. See connection UI - Choose User.Read.All and Group.Read.All Scopes and regenerate token. You can manually type value too if you know Group or User Id. Format is /users/{id} OR /groups/{id}
Option Value
My self (Not Valid for Application Credentials)
For any group /groups/ENTER-GROUP-EMAIL-OR-ID
For any user /users/ENTER-USER-EMAIL-OR-ID
Name: SearchType

Label: Search Type (For UI Only - Default=Recursive - i.e. Blank)

If you do not wish to see files from child folders then use Non-Recursive option. Recursive option has certain limitations (e.g. Only indexed files will appear so it takes time to show up in the list). If you do not see some files listed in the output then use Non-Recursive option (must specify Parent Folder Path in SearchPath property).
Option Value
Recursive All Files (Keep Blank) - For User Creds Only
Non-Recursive / Children - All Files children
Recursive *.xlsx Files - For User Creds Only search(q='.xls')
Recursive *.csv Files - For User Creds Only search(q='.csv')
Recursive *.json Files - For User Creds Only search(q='.json')
Recursive Custom Extension Files - For User Creds Only search(q='.myext')
Name: SearchPath

Label: Search Folder (For UI Only - Helps to narrow down File Selection DropDown) - Max 200 Listed

This parameter is only for UI. Select this to narrow down File List Dropdown. Select Search Folder first and then select File List dropdown to see new File list (found under this selected folder).

Input Columns

Label Data Type (SSIS) Data Type (SQL) Length Description
There are no Static columns defined for this endpoint. This endpoint detects columns dynamically at runtime.

Examples

SSIS

Use OneDrive Connector in API Source or in API Destination SSIS Data Flow components to read or write data.

API Destination

This Endpoint belongs to the JSON File Read/Create/Update table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly. Use this table and table-operation pair to create / update json file:

API Destination - OneDrive
OneDrive Connector can be used to integrate OneDrive and your defined data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete OneDrive data in a few clicks!

Create / Update a JSON File in OneDrive from External Data Source (e.g. MSSQL / ODBC)

This example shows how to create / update a JSON file directly on OneDrive using streaming approach. This example reads records from Microsoft SQL Server database and writes data to JSON file on OneDrive. If file does not exists then it creates a new one. It uses LayoutMap to generate JSON with custom layout.
