OneDrive is a simple, secure, cloud-based file sharing and collaboration services that make it easy for your teams to manage and share your documents and work together in real time on any device. Many Grow users store exported files with supported formats in their synced OneDrive folders from platforms that may not yet have an integration with Grow. This means you don't have to worry about excluding any of your important data from Grow metrics. Whenever the OneDrive files behind your metrics are updated, Grow will update your metrics to reflect the change.
Here are some things you can expect from the OneDrive/Grow integration.
The OneDrive and OneDrive Business integrations have been merged into one integration called OneDrive.
Connecting to OneDrive
Before starting, please collect your Microsoft email and password.
- Select the Data tab next to the Dashboard. This takes you to the Data Overview page.
- Click on the Connections button.
- Select the blue Connect button at the end of the Your Top Data Sources options.
- From the list of Connections, search and select OneDrive.
- Click on Connect to OneDrive.
- Enter the Microsoft account credentials you use for OneDrive.
- Select Accept on the permission request page to grant Grow access to your OneDrive.
If you didn't see a window to enter your credentials but you still got a green success message, that means you were already logged in with your Microsoft account and Grow used that account to connect.
