Add Onedrive

Install Add Onedrive

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill add-onedrive

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads add-onedrive when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the add-onedrive skill”. In Codex, type $add-onedrive.

Add OneDrive for Business

Workflow

  1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Configure → 4. Build → 5. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

Get the connection as described in connector-reference.md.

CLI 1.3.0+ (PA_INLINE_CONNECTIONS=yes): tell the user that adding OneDrive for Business may create a connection with their account, then run the add without -c and handle the result with the outcome table in connector-reference.md:

pa app add data-source --connector onedriveforbusiness --non-interactive

Older CLIs: run /list-connections to find the OneDrive for Business connection ID (if none exists, create one with pa connection create as described in connector-reference.md), then:

pa app add data-source --connector onedriveforbusiness -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Configure

Ask the user what file operations they need (list files, upload, download, create folder, etc.).

The generated service is OneDriveforBusinessService (lowercase "for"), and its methods take positional parameters. Confirm names and signatures in src/generated/services/ before using them.

Common operations:

import { OneDriveforBusinessService } from "../generated/services/OneDriveforBusinessService";

// List the files and folders in the root folder
const root = await OneDriveforBusinessService.ListRootFolder();
const rootItems = root.data ?? [];

// List a subfolder by its Id (from an earlier listing); returns a page of items
const folder = await OneDriveforBusinessService.ListFolderV2("<folder-id>");
const folderItems = folder.data?.value ?? [];

// Get file metadata and content
const metadata = await OneDriveforBusinessService.GetFileMetadata("<file-id>");
const content = await OneDriveforBusinessService.GetFileContent("<file-id>");

// Create a file
await OneDriveforBusinessService.CreateFile("/Documents", "report.txt", "File content here");

Key points:

  • List the root folder with ListRootFolder() instead of passing "root" as a folder ID. ListFolderV2 takes the Id of a folder returned by an earlier listing.
  • Use ListFolderV2, not ListFolder, which the connector has deprecated. ListFolderV2 returns a page: the items are in value, and nextLink is set when there are more.
  • Use folderPath for creating files by path, id for accessing existing files
  • Binary file content may need base64 encoding/decoding depending on the operation

Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/OneDriveforBusinessService.ts (generated files can be very large -- see connector-reference.md).

Step 4: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 5: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, configured operations, build status.
