OneDrive Connector for SSISOneDrive 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! In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate OneDrive data in SSIS without coding. We will use high-performance OneDrive Connector to easily connect to OneDrive and then access the data inside SSIS. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! OneDrive Connector for SSIS is based on ZappySys API Connector Framework which is a part of SSIS PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance SSIS connectors that enable you to integrate data with virtually any data provider supported by SSIS, including SQL Server. SSIS PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few (if you are new to SSIS and SSIS PowerPack, find out more on how to use them). |

Now it's time to configure authentication. Firstly, configure authentication settings in OneDrive service and then proceed by configuring API Connection Manager. Start by expanding an authentication type:
OneDrive authentication
Use delegated access (User Credentials) whenever you want to let a signed-in user work with their own resources or resources they can access. Whether it's an admin setting up policies for their entire organization or a user deleting an email in their inbox, all scenarios involving user actions should use delegated access. [API reference]
Follow these simple steps below to create Microsoft Entra ID application with delegated access:
WARNING: To automate your company's processes, make sure you use a system/generic account (e.g.automation@my-company.com
). When you use a personal account which is tied to a specific employee profile and that employee leaves the company, the token may become invalid and any automated processes using that token will start to fail.- Navigate to the Azure Portal and log in using your credentials.
- Access Microsoft Entra ID.
-
Register a new application by going to
App registrations
and clicking on New registration button:

Application-only access is broader and more powerful than delegated access (User Credentials), so you should only use app-only access where needed. Use it when: 1. The application needs to run in an automated way, without user input (for example, a daily script that checks emails from certain contacts and sends automated responses). 2. The application needs to access resources belonging to multiple different users (for example, a backup or data loss prevention app might need to retrieve messages from many different chat channels, each with different participants). 3. You find yourself tempted to store credentials locally and allow the app to sign in 'as' the user or admin. [API reference]

Load OneDrive data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination (Insert or Update)
Once you configured the data source, you can load OneDrive data into SQL Server using Upsert Destination.
Upsert Destination can merge or synchronize source data with the target table.
It supports Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Redshift databases as targets.
Upsert Destination also supports very fast bulk upsert
operation along with bulk delete
.
Upsert operation
- a database operation which performs INSERT
or UPDATE
SQL commands
based on record's existence condition in the target table.
It
Upsert Destination supports INSERT
, UPDATE
, and DELETE
operations,
so it is similar to SQL Server's MERGE
command, except it can be used directly in SSIS package.
-
From the SSIS Toolbox drag-and-drop Upsert Destination component onto the Data Flow designer background.
-
Connect your SSIS source component to Upsert Destination.
-
Double-click on Upsert Destination component to open configuration window.
-
Start by selecting the Action from the list.
-
