OneDrive Integration

OneDrive is the Microsoft cloud service that connects you to all your files. It lets you store and protect your files, share them with others, and get to them from anywhere on all your devices.

By integrating your portal and OneDrive, you can seamlessly connect assets between the two systems automatically without needing to download and re-upload them.

This feature/solution requires your Customer Success Contact to enable, but then individual permissions can be done by the Bynder Admin.

How to Use the Integration

After configuration, all selected assets in your OneDrive folder will be uploaded to your portal’s Asset Bank in about 2 hours. Moving forward, any assets added or moved to the selected folder (or sub-folders) in the configured OneDrive account will automatically be uploaded to the Asset Bank after about 2 hours.

If you delete an asset from the selected OneDrive folder, it will not automatically be removed from your Bynder DAM. If you delete a OneDrive asset from your Bynder DAM, it will remain in your OneDrive account.

If you want an additional OneDrive folder synced, you must configure another OneDrive workflow.

Here, you can learn how to leverage metaproperty permissions to manage visibility, control access rights, or create an approval workflow.

1. Navigate to Settings >Advanced settings >Portal settings.
