How to Connect OneDrive

This guide explains how to connect a OneDrive account to All Cloud Hub.

After connecting OneDrive, its files and folders begin appearing inside FilesVerse, where you can work with them alongside files from other connected cloud storage accounts.

Before You Start

Before connecting OneDrive, make sure:

  • You have a Microsoft account with access to OneDrive
  • You are signed in to All Cloud Hub
  • You are within your plan’s account limit
    • Free plan allows up to three connected cloud accounts
    • Power User plan allows unlimited connected accounts

Step 1: Open the Connect Account Screen

From the All Cloud Hub dashboard, locate the Cloud Accounts section.

Click Connect Account to open the cloud selection screen.

Step 2: Add an Account Alias

To connect OneDrive, you must first enter an Account Alias.

The Account Alias is a short name that helps you identify this OneDrive account inside All Cloud Hub. This is useful if you plan to connect more than one OneDrive account.

Examples include:

  • Personal OneDrive
  • Work OneDrive
  • Client OneDrive

After entering the alias, select OneDrive as the cloud platform.

The Connect Account button becomes active once both fields are filled.

Tip

Choose an alias that clearly reflects how you use this OneDrive account. The alias appears throughout FilesVerse and Cloud Accounts.

Step 3: Sign In to OneDrive

Click Connect Account.

You are redirected to the Microsoft sign-in page. Sign in using the Microsoft account associated with the OneDrive account you want to connect.

If you have access to multiple Microsoft accounts, you will be prompted to choose one.

Step 4: Grant Permissions

Microsoft will ask you to grant permissions so All Cloud Hub can work with your OneDrive files.

These permissions allow you to:

  • View files and folders
  • Create, rename, and organize files
  • Copy or move files
  • Transfer files between cloud storage accounts
  • Sync folders across clouds

All Cloud Hub uses these permissions only when you perform actions inside the dashboard.

Note

All Cloud Hub does not make changes to your OneDrive files unless you explicitly initiate an action.

Step 5: Return to FilesVerse

After approving the permissions, you are redirected back to FilesVerse.

There is no confirmation message. Your OneDrive account is connected automatically, and its files and folders start appearing in the dashboard.

The connected OneDrive account is listed under Cloud Accounts, identified by:

  • The OneDrive icon
  • The Account Alias you provided

What Happens Next

Once connected, you can immediately:

  • View OneDrive files alongside files from other cloud accounts
  • Search OneDrive files using FilesVerse search
  • Rename and organize files directly from the dashboard
  • Transfer files between OneDrive and other connected clouds

All files remain stored in your OneDrive account.

If the Connection Fails

If the browser is closed during sign-in, or if permissions are denied, the connection is not completed.

In such cases:

  • The OneDrive account is not added
  • You can retry the process using Connect Account

An error message is shown when the connection fails.

In Summary

Connecting OneDrive to All Cloud Hub involves adding an account alias, selecting OneDrive, and approving access through Microsoft.

Once connected, your OneDrive files appear in FilesVerse automatically and can be managed alongside your other cloud storage accounts.
