Microsoft SharePoint - User Guide

In this article, you will understand step by step how to easily integrate with Microsoft SharePoint

Note: Currently, the SharePoint integration supports syncing individual files only—not folders. Folder syncing will be supported soo.

Permissions for Microsoft SharePoint Integration

To successfully connect to SharePoint, it's essential to configure the correct Microsoft Graph permissions. You have two options depending on the level of access you want to grant:

Full Read Access to All Sites

Note: While admin permissions are requested during setup, we only access the specific files you choose to sync. This ensures your data stays secure and fully under your control.

Create an application in Azure Active Directory.
Add the Files.Read.All permission from Microsoft Graph (Application permissions).
Grant admin consent for the permission.

This will allow the app to read files across all SharePoint sites.

Alternative Option: Read Access to Specific Sites Only

To restrict access to selected SharePoint sites, follow these steps:

Create an application in Azure Active Directory.
Add the Sites.Selected permission from Microsoft Graph (Application permissions).
Grant admin consent for the permission.
Copy /_api/site/id and paste it to the URL of the page.
Example:

For root site:
https://companyname.sharepoint.com/_api/site/id
Copy the id value from the page and save it. You will need this later on.
Go to the Graph Explorer and log in with an Azure admin account.
Use a POST request to this endpoint and add in /sites/{site-id} (replace {site_id} with the id you copied in step 4)
Use the following request body, replacing app-id and app-name with your app’s values:

{
"roles": ["read"],
"grantedToIdentities": [{
"application": {
"id": "app-id",
"displayName": "app-name"
}
}]
}
