Connect OneDrive to Ormi
OneDrive is the third file destination beside Google Drive and Dropbox, and it works the same way: when a job is completed or an invoice is paid, its photos and signed documents are copied one way into a dedicated Ormi folder in your OneDrive. Ormi stays the system of record. The Entra application you register is yours, the Graph quota is yours, and nothing outside the Ormi folder is ever touched.
OneDrive + Ormi in detail
How to connect OneDrive to Ormi
Register an application in your own Microsoft directory
Entra admin centre, App registrations, New registration. Platform Web, not Single-page application: a SPA redirect URI caps refresh tokens at 24 hours, so the backup would stop every night and look like an outage.
Grant the one narrow permission
Delegated Microsoft Graph permissions Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder, offline_access and User.Read. AppFolder is the point: Files.ReadWrite reaches every file you own and Files.ReadWrite.All reaches the whole organisation, and neither is needed to write into one folder.
Paste the client id and secret into Ormi
Settings, then Integrations, then OneDrive. Copy the secret VALUE, not the Secret ID. They are stored against your company and encrypted. Connect, then finish a job: the queue drains every few minutes and the connection shows the last push.
How shops actually use it
Real workflows, not marketing bullets.
- A shop already on Microsoft 365 that wants the photo record in the account it already pays for
- An office manager handing a warranty claim over as ordinary files from a OneDrive folder
- An owner who keeps a years-long archive outside whatever software they happen to run
OneDrive integration questions
Is this the same connection as signing in with Microsoft?
It is the same app registration, and deliberately so: making you register two applications for one Microsoft account would be asking you to do our filing. Signing in to Ormi with a Microsoft account is a separate feature and is not switched on yet.
Can Ormi read the rest of my OneDrive?
No. Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder reaches one folder that the Ormi app itself owns. Everything else in your OneDrive is invisible to it, and it never deletes anything.
Do I need a particular Microsoft 365 plan?
Any plan with OneDrive and the ability to register an application in your directory. The copies count against your own OneDrive storage, because the application is yours.
What happens if the connection breaks?
The queue keeps the files and retries with a backoff, and the connection shows the last error rather than going quiet. Silence is the failure mode that matters here: a shop that believes its photos are backed up and finds out later.
