OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service that is part of the Microsoft suite of tools that allows you to store and share files. You can connect one OneDrive folder or subfolder per project. Different folders can be linked to different components within the same project. The connection with OneDrive is read-only, which means files added to your OneDrive folder will be viewable - but not editable - via OSF. At this time, only personal OneDrive accounts can be connected to OSF. OneDrive for Business accounts cannot be connected.
The OneDrive add-on allows you to connect external content to OSF. This connection does not store or back up this content on OSF. To back up your content to OSF Storage, consider registering your project.
1. Enable OneDrive in your project
First, open your project, then click the Add-ons tab in the navigation bar.
You will be taken to the "Add-ons" page for the project.
In the list of add-ons, click the Enable link next to OneDrive.
The OneDrive terms will appear.
Read the terms, then click the Confirm button.
2. Configure OneDrive
Find OneDrive in the "Configure Add-ons" section, then click the Connect Account link.
Log in to OneDrive to allow OSF access to your OneDrive account.
Your OneDrive folders will be imported into your project.
3. Select a folder
Next, select a folder from the list, then click Save.
Your OneDrive folder will be connected to your project.

Is there a way to connect OneDrive accounts associated with your academic institution? We have free access to Microsoft Office 360 with a good-sized OneDrive that we would like to link.
Hi Krishna,
Unfortunately, at this time, only personal OneDrive accounts can be connected to the OSF (Business/Institutional Accounts can't use the same connection). We keep track of feature requests from users in order to better inform future development, so I'll log this issue there.
Has the option to connect OneDrive accounts associated with your academic institution been added yet?
