About Microsoft OneDrive Integration

The Paxform Microsoft OneDrive integration seamlessly connects your form submissions to Microsoft’s cloud storage platform, automatically saving every completed form and attachment to your OneDrive account. This integration maintains your organization’s commitment to the Microsoft 365 ecosystem while ensuring all form-collected data is properly stored and accessible.

This integration is essential for organizations standardized on Microsoft 365 that need form data integrated into their existing file management structure. Whether you’re using OneDrive for Business or personal accounts, the integration ensures form submissions are automatically filed, versioned, and available to authorized team members through the familiar OneDrive interface.

How it Works

  • Authenticate with Microsoft

Connect Paxform to your OneDrive account using Microsoft OAuth authentication. Grant appropriate folder access permissions while maintaining security.

  • Configure Storage Structure

Define destination folders for different form types. Create dynamic folder hierarchies using form data (customer names, dates, categories) or maintain fixed organizational structures.

  • Set Up File Naming

Establish naming conventions for automatically saved files. Use form fields, submission dates, and unique identifiers to generate organized, searchable filenames.

  • Automatic File Upload

Upon form submission, Paxform generates PDFs and uploads all attachments to designated OneDrive locations. Files appear in OneDrive within seconds, ready for team access.
