OneDrive

Lists and downloads files from a OneDrive folder on demand.

Overview

The OneDrive action node retrieves all files from a specified OneDrive folder. Unlike the OneDrive Trigger which polls for changes over time, this node fetches files once as part of a workflow execution.

Use it to:

• Process all existing files in a OneDrive folder
• List files for filtering and selective processing
• Retrieve files on demand from Microsoft OneDrive

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
Credential	OneDrive account to use	Yes
Folder URL	OneDrive folder URL	Yes

Folder URL

The URL of the OneDrive folder to list files from. Supports expressions for dynamic folder selection:

{{$item.data.folderUrl}}

Settings

Setting	Description
Execution Mode	Once per item (default) or Once
Output Mode	How to output results when running once
Batch Size	Items to process concurrently (default 5)
Stop on Error	Stop workflow on failure

Output

One item per file found in the folder:

{
  "file": {
    "type": "fileData",
    "name": "spreadsheet.xlsx",
    "mimeType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
    "fileInfo": {
      "type": "oneDrive",
      "credentialId": "..."
    }
  }
}

Access file properties in expressions:

• File object: {{$item.data.file}}

Examples

Process OneDrive Files

[Manual Trigger] → [OneDrive (folder)] → [Data Extractor] → [Insert Rows]

Batch Convert Excel Files

[OneDrive (folder)] → [Filter (mimeType contains "spreadsheet")] → [Excel to PDF] → [Copy File]

Authentication

This node requires a connected Microsoft account with OneDrive access. Configure credentials in your workspace settings.

Tips

• Returns files only — subfolders are not included
• Not recursive — only lists files directly in the specified folder
• Use the OneDrive Trigger for continuous monitoring; use this node for one-time retrieval
• Each file in the folder becomes a separate output item
