Connected through Microsoft 365

Microsoft OneDrive is a service inside the single Microsoft 365 connection on Claude. You do not install it as a separate app.

What it is

OneDrive is not a standalone Claude connector. A Microsoft Entra administrator consents to the Microsoft 365 connector for the tenant, members then connect their own Microsoft accounts, and Claude works within each user’s existing OneDrive permissions.

What it can do

What it cannot do

Not confirmed means official documentation does not assign this capability to this specific connection. It is not a claim that the capability is impossible.

Availability and requirements

Available through the Microsoft 365 connector on Claude Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise; individual write tools depend on tenant consent.

Account requirements

  • A Microsoft Entra tenant on a Microsoft 365 business plan
  • Personal Microsoft accounts (Outlook.com, Hotmail) are not supported
  • An active Microsoft 365 license with OneDrive access

How to connect

Setup path Microsoft 365 connector (Entra tenant consent)

  1. 1. Enable Microsoft 365

    A Claude organization owner enables the connector where applicable.

  2. 2. Grant tenant consent

    A Microsoft Entra administrator consents for the tenant.

  3. 3. Approve write scopes

    Optional file write scopes are consented separately.

  4. 4. Connect your account

    Each user connects Microsoft 365 from Claude settings.

  5. 5. Test

    Ask Claude about a OneDrive file you already have access to.

Permissions, privacy, and admin controls

Microsoft Entra administrator consent is required per tenant, and Team/Enterprise organization owners must enable Microsoft 365. Write tools require the separate write-scope consent.

  • Access mirrors the connected user’s existing Microsoft 365 permissions.
  • Users and organization owners can revoke the connection at any time.
  • Keep write tools disabled or approval-gated until they have been tested.

Platform context

  • Claude web connectors are generally available across Claude surfaces, but individual connector requirements differ. Claude inherits the connected user’s permissions from the source service. Team and Enterprise organization owners may need to enable a connector before members authenticate it.

Documented limitations

  • Personal Microsoft accounts are unsupported; a business tenant is required.
  • Without consented write scopes the connection is read-only.
  • Creating and updating files are documented; deleting files is not.
  • Claude cannot exceed the connected user’s OneDrive permissions.

Best use cases

  • Finding a document stored in personal OneDrive
  • Summarizing a report the user already has access to
  • Drafting updates into an existing OneDrive file with write tools enabled

Example prompts

  • “Find my latest quarterly planning document in OneDrive.”
  • “Summarize the OneDrive file I shared with the design team.”
  • “Update the OneDrive brief with these notes — only when write tools are enabled.”

Troubleshooting

  • OneDrive files are not found

    Confirm business-tenant status, an active license, Entra administrator consent, Claude organization enablement and that the signed-in account can open the file in OneDrive.

  • Claude cannot create or update files

    Write scopes must be consented by an administrator and write tools enabled in Claude.
