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 connectoneOneDrive folder or subfolder per project. Different folders can be linked to different components within the same project. The connection with OneDrive is read-write, which means files added to your OneDrive folder will be viewable and modifiable via OSF.
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.
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. Where you will select if you are looking for an “additional storage” add-on or a “citation manager” tool. In this case, you will select “additional storage” and then click “Connect” under OneDrive
The OneDrive terms will appear. Read the terms, then click the Confirm button.
Setting up a new OneDrive Account
Because other contributors can connect their add-on accounts to a project you can distinguish your account with a different name. For example, naming your account “Your NAME_ADD-ON” Allows you to distinguish accounts from your collaborators. When you are finished naming click “Authorize”
Authorization of Access to Add-on
After clicking “authorize”, a new window tab will appear to allow you to sign in on the selected Add-on. Log in with your username and Password used on that add-on site, not your OSF account.
The Add-on will then ask you if you would like to confirm the connection of your Add-on account to your OSF Account. Once you have finished approving the add-oin connection, you will then be returned to your OSF project, Confirm the connection of the account by clicking “confirm”
Next you will select what folder to connect to your OSF project. Select which folders you would like to connect by clicking the “all documents” link or using the select bubble for specific files. Then click “save”
You have now connected your Add-on library to your OSF project and will be returned to the Add-on selection page. Your folder will be connected to your project on the project overview page.
