# Microsoft OneDrive

> Connect your Microsoft OneDrive documents to Contextual AI

## Connecting Microsoft OneDrive

You can sync your OneDrive data via the Contextual AI SharePoint connector.

<Note>
  **Note:** Before getting started, ensure that you are a Super Admin. [Follow this guide](https://contextualai.integrations.guide/articles/10744024) to configure Super Admin permissions in SharePoint.
</Note>

Log in through the Contextual AI UI and follow these steps to configure OneDrive as a data source.

### 1. Set Data Source Name & Type

* Click **Datastores** in the left-hand pane, followed by the **Create** button in the top right.
* Give your datastore a unique name, then select **Third-Party Connection** as the method for adding content to your datastore. Click the **Next** button.
* On the **Connection Setup** page, you can **set up auto top-off** to automatically add credits when low, or click **Skip for now** to bypass this step.

<Note>
  **Note:** Auto top-off is recommended in [On Demand mode](https://docs.contextual.ai/user-guides/billing) to prevent ingestions from failing halfway if you use up your balance.

### 2. Review Access Levels & Set Account Type

* Click the **Connect** button next to **SharePoint**.
* Confirm Contextual AI's read/write access levels and review the end user terms. Click **Next** to continue.
* Select your **Account Type**:
  **Admin account (read-only)** - You are setting up a connection for your organization and have admin access to your data source.
  **User account (read-only)** - You are setting up a personal connection or do not have admin access to your data source.

<Note>

### 3. Configure Sync Settings

Contextual AI offers two ways to sync your data. You can choose to sync all your files or only specific folders.

#### Sync Options

* **Share all files** - Grants access to all content. This includes OneDrive folders within SharePoint sites and an individual user’s OneDrive folders.
* **Share specific folders** - Restricts access to only the folders you select. You can pick specific OneDrive folders within SharePoint sites, but not an individual user’s OneDrive folders.

Once you've selected and configured your sync option, click **Confirm** to finalize your selections, then click **Next** once setup is complete.

Click **Finish setup** to continue. On the next page, click **Create** to initialize your connection and create your datastore.

You’ll be redirected to your **Datastore** page, where the **Syncing Metadata** status will appear. During this stage, Contextual AI syncs your file metadata, users, and groups.

Once metadata syncing is complete, ingestion will begin automatically and the status will update to **Processing**. You can check the progress bar to track how many documents remain to be processed.

<Note>
  **Note:** The syncing process is typically quick, but may take a few hours if you have a large number of files, users, or groups.<br /><br />You can begin using your datastore while syncing continues, but you’ll only have access to the documents that have already been ingested.
</Note>

Once all documents finish ingesting, you’ll see a **green checkmark** indicating that your datastore is ready to use.
