Microsoft OneDrive for Business

On This Page

Overview

A connection is how you grant DryvIQ access to the content in your Microsoft OneDrive for Business account. You will provide the connection information required for DryvIQ to connect to the platform/server. This grants DryvIQ access to the account so it can scan and analyze the content based on the policies you create.

 

You must use an administrator account with the proper privileges to manage OneDrive for Business configurations.

Creating a Connection

  1. Select Content from the main menu.

  2. Verify you are on the Connections tab.

  3. Select Add connection.

     

  4. Select Microsoft OneDrive for Business as the platform on the Add connection modal.

     

  5. Enter the connection information. See Connection Authentication Options below for details about each field.

  6. Select Sign in with Microsoft OneDrive for Business.

  7. Enter the email for the account being used to create the connection and click Next.

     

  8. Enter the password for the account and select Sign in.

     

  9. You will see a "Connection test succeeded" message on the Add connection modal. (If you don't see this message, repeat the sign in and authorization steps above. If the connection fails, verify the URL. DryvIQ cannot create the connection if the URL is incorrect.)

     

  10. Select Done to finish creating the connection.

Required

Display as

Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists.

If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the URL. For example, OneDrive for Business (https://mycompany-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_mycompany_onmicrosoft_com). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name.

Optional 

URL

Enter the URL of your OneDrive for Business account. This must be the full URL. If the connection fails, verify the URL. DryvIQ cannot create the connection if the URL is incorrect. 

You can find the URL by logging into OneDrive for Business using the account you want to use to create the connection. The URL in the address bar is the URL you need to use. It will look something like "https://mycompany-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_mycompany_onmicrosoft_com" (where mycompany will be the site name of your company).

You must use the full URL, or the connection will fail. For example, the following URL is invalid since it is not the complete URL and will result in a failed connection: "https://mycompany-my.sharepoint.com/personal/".

Required

Optional

Graph API endpoint

This setting is rare for most Microsoft connections and can be left blank. If needed, this value will be provided by your administrator.
