# Connecting SharePoint and OneDrive

### Summary

Learn how to connect your **Microsoft 365** account to Vincent. This integration allows you to securely import files directly from **SharePoint** and **OneDrive for Business** for analysis, eliminating the need to download sensitive documents to your local device.

### Why This is Important

This integration creates a secure, direct bridge between your firm's Microsoft 365 ecosystem and Vincent. By moving files cloud-to-cloud, you maintain strict data governance, avoid creating "shadow copies" on local hard drives, and streamline your workflow by accessing your documents without leaving the Vincent interface.

### Step-by-Step Guide

#### Step 1: Open the Document Uploader

In any workflow that allows document uploads, click the **'Add Documents'** button.

#### Step 2: Select SharePoint

From the dropdown menu, select **'Upload from SharePoint'**.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This single option provides access to both **SharePoint Team Sites** and your personal **OneDrive for Business** files.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 3: Authenticate

Sign in using your standard **Microsoft 365 credentials**. No separate account setup is required.

#### Step 4: Select and Import Files

You will see the native Microsoft file picker, which mirrors your familiar folder structure. You can browse:

* **My Files:** Your personal OneDrive documents.
* **Quick Access & Shared:** Frequently used SharePoint libraries and files shared with you.

Select the specific files you wish to analyze and click **Open** (or Import) to pull them into Vincent.

### Best Practices & Pro Tips

* **Permissions are Respected:** You will only see and be able to import documents that you already have explicit permission to access in your Microsoft 365 environment.
* **One-Way Import:** This is a "read-only" action. Vincent creates a copy for analysis; it **does not** alter, move, or delete your original source files in SharePoint.

{% hint style="warning" %} **File Selection:** Currently, you must select specific files for import. Selecting and importing an entire folder structure in bulk is not yet supported. {% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.vlex.com/vincent-by-vlex/vincent/support-and-account-administration/connecting-your-document-management-system-dms-to-vincent/connecting-sharepoint-and-onedrive.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
