# 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 %}
