The OneDrive data source lets you connect your Microsoft OneDrive account to automatically pull time-series data from a shared CSV or Excel file you host there.

How it works

1

Connect your account

You authorize the platform via your Microsoft account (OAuth). No password is stored; only a secure refresh token is kept to maintain the connection.
2

Point to your file

Provide a shared link to a CSV or Excel file in OneDrive. The platform reads the file on a scheduled basis to ingest new rows.
3

Map your columns

You specify which column contains timestamps (the date column). All other numeric columns are automatically treated as data variables (for example, energy readings or sensor values).
4

Automatic variable creation

If new columns appear in your file over time, corresponding variables are created automatically.
5

Ongoing sync

The integration polls your file on a recurring schedule, appending only new rows to the database. You do not need to manually upload data.

Key requirements

  • The file must be shared (via a OneDrive share link) with at least read access.
  • The file must contain a date/timestamp column and one or more numeric data columns.
  • Your Microsoft account must remain connected. If you revoke access or the token expires, you’ll need to reconnect.

Supported file formats

.csv, .xlsx (Excel)
