OneDrive: import from OneDrive and SharePoint
OneDrive is coming soon. See its current availability and the planned read-only import flow for OneDrive and SharePoint files.
The OneDrive connector pulls video files straight from OneDrive into Framesite, so footage stored in your Microsoft account can become source-backed pages without a download-and-reupload dance. The connection is read only: Framesite browses your folders and copies only the files you choose.
What you need
A Microsoft 365 or OneDrive account with your videos, and an admin role in your Framesite workspace to connect it. It works with work, school, and personal Microsoft accounts, and also covers SharePoint files you can see. Framesite requests read-only scopes: User.Read and Files.Read.All.
Adding the app
Open Import in your workspace
Sign in to Framesite and open the Import view. The OneDrive card sits with the other video sources. You need an admin role in the workspace to connect accounts.
In Framesite- Import
- Connected libraries
- OneDrive

The OneDrive card shows its current availability directly in Import. Click Connect
You are sent to Microsoft's own sign-in and consent screen. It lists exactly what Framesite asks for: read-only access to your profile and files. Framesite never sees your Microsoft password.
Approve and return
After you approve, Microsoft sends you back to Framesite and the card shows Connected. The refresh token is stored encrypted and used only on our servers.
Using the app
Once connected, the OneDrive card lets you browse your folders one level at a time to find your video files. Tick the videos you want and add them to the import queue. Before anything runs, Framesite shows what the run produces and how it draws from your current allowance. When the import runs, Framesite resolves a fresh pre-authenticated download link to the original file, so processing starts from the real source, not a re-encode.
Processing produces a transcript tied to exact timestamps, chapters, verbatim quotes, claims marked by how well they are sourced, and named speakers. Nothing publishes without your review and approval.
Troubleshooting
- The connect button says denied. Connecting is limited to workspace admins. Ask a workspace admin to connect, or to make you an admin.
- Consent needs an administrator. Some company tenants require an admin to approve the app before anyone can connect. Ask your Microsoft tenant administrator to approve Framesite, then connect again.
- An item shows empty. If the item was moved or deleted in OneDrive, it comes back empty. Browse to its new location, or restore it in OneDrive.
- The connection shows needs attention. This means the token was revoked. Click Connect again to reauthorize; your imported videos are unaffected.
Removing the app
Open the OneDrive card in Framesite and click Disconnect. This deletes the stored token from our systems immediately and stops all further access. You can also remove Framesite's access from your Microsoft account security page on the provider side.
After removal, Framesite can no longer see your OneDrive files. Videos you already imported remain in your Framesite library, because they are your workspace content; delete them there whenever you want, or ask us to. Reconnecting later starts a fresh authorization from the beginning.
Common questions
- Which OneDrive files can Framesite see?
- The files on the connected Microsoft account, read only, including SharePoint files you can see. It works with work, school, and personal Microsoft accounts. Framesite requests only User.Read and Files.Read.All, and never edits, deletes, or adds anything.
- Does Framesite keep a permanent link to my files?
- No. When an import runs, Framesite resolves a fresh pre-authenticated download link to the original file. The link is resolved at import time rather than stored, so nothing keeps a standing link to your OneDrive content.
- What happens to my data if I remove the app?
- When you click Disconnect on the OneDrive card, we delete the stored token immediately and stop all further access. Videos you already imported stay in your Framesite workspace, because they are your content there; you can delete them from your library at any time.
- Is my OneDrive content used to train AI models?
- No. Content from connected services, including OneDrive, is never used to train any machine learning model, ours or a provider's. It is processed only to build the transcripts and pages you asked for.
