OneDrive integration in ClickUp

The Microsoft OneDrive integration in ClickUp lets you attach, manage, and collaborate on cloud documents directly from your tasks and Docs, so your files stay organized in one place.

This step-by-step guide explains how to connect OneDrive to your Workspace, attach files, manage permissions, and disconnect the integration when needed.

Requirements for using OneDrive with ClickUp

Before you connect OneDrive to ClickUp, make sure your account and Workspace meet the following requirements.

• You must have a valid Microsoft account with access to OneDrive or SharePoint.
• You must have permission to install and authorize apps for that Microsoft account.
• You need permission in ClickUp to manage integrations for your Workspace, if your Workspace owners or admins have restricted this capability.
• You must be signed in to the correct ClickUp Workspace where you want to enable the integration.

How to connect Microsoft OneDrive to ClickUp

Follow these steps to enable the OneDrive integration in ClickUp for your user account and Workspace.

Step 1: Open your ClickUp Workspace settings

1. Log in to your ClickUp account.
2. Use the Workspace switcher (if needed) to select the Workspace where you want to use OneDrive.
3. Open the main navigation and go to your Workspace or personal settings, depending on where the OneDrive option is available in your interface.

Step 2: Start the OneDrive connection in ClickUp

1. Navigate to the integrations or apps section of your ClickUp settings.
2. Locate the Microsoft OneDrive integration option.
3. Select the option to connect or authorize Microsoft OneDrive.

Step 3: Authorize Microsoft permissions for ClickUp

When you start the connection process, a Microsoft sign-in or permissions window will appear.

1. Sign in with the Microsoft account that owns or can access the OneDrive or SharePoint files you plan to use.
2. Review the requested permissions that allow ClickUp to access and attach your files.
3. Confirm and accept the permissions to complete authorization.

After authorization, your OneDrive account will be connected to ClickUp and ready to use within tasks and Docs.

How to attach OneDrive files in ClickUp tasks

Once the integration is connected, you can attach OneDrive or SharePoint documents directly to tasks in ClickUp.

Attach a OneDrive file from a task

1. Open the task where you want to attach a file.
2. Locate the attachments area or the paperclip icon in the task view.
3. Select the option to attach from cloud storage, then choose Microsoft OneDrive.
4. Browse your OneDrive or SharePoint folders in the picker that appears.
5. Select the desired file and confirm to attach it to the ClickUp task.

After attachment, the file will appear in the task’s attachments section. People with access to the task can open the file, subject to your Microsoft sharing permissions.

Attach multiple files from OneDrive in ClickUp

You can attach more than one Microsoft file to a single task.

1. Repeat the attachment steps for each file, or select multiple files (if the picker interface allows multi-select).
2. Verify that each file appears individually in the task attachments list in ClickUp.

Using OneDrive files in ClickUp Docs and comments

Beyond task attachments, you can also leverage OneDrive links in Docs and comments to keep related resources close to your work.

Embed or link OneDrive documents in ClickUp Docs

1. Open or create a Doc in ClickUp.
2. Paste a OneDrive or SharePoint file link into the Doc, or use the insert/link option if available.
3. Format the link as needed so teammates can easily identify and open it.

Depending on your access and sharing setup in Microsoft, the file may open in a new browser tab or within the Microsoft interface.

Share OneDrive links in ClickUp comments

1. Open a task and navigate to the comments section.
2. Paste a OneDrive or SharePoint link directly into the comment field.
3. Post the comment so collaborators can access the file while discussing task details.

This approach keeps conversations and documents aligned in ClickUp without downloading files or creating duplicates.

Managing permissions for OneDrive files used in ClickUp

File permissions are controlled by Microsoft, not by ClickUp. Anyone who opens a OneDrive or SharePoint attachment or link from ClickUp must also have the correct access in Microsoft.

• To grant access, adjust sharing settings from OneDrive or SharePoint directly.
• Use Microsoft sharing links to give view or edit permissions as needed.
• If a user cannot open a file from ClickUp, confirm their permissions in your Microsoft admin center or directly on the file.

Remember that removing access in Microsoft will prevent users from opening those attachments, even if the links still appear in your ClickUp tasks.

How to disconnect Microsoft OneDrive from ClickUp

You can remove the integration at any time. Disconnecting OneDrive from ClickUp stops new authorizations, but it does not delete existing task attachments or links. Those links may remain visible; however, access is still governed by Microsoft permissions.

Disconnect OneDrive in ClickUp settings

1. Sign in to your ClickUp account.
2. Open your Workspace or personal settings panel.
3. Go to the integrations or apps section where OneDrive is listed.
4. Find the Microsoft OneDrive integration connected to ClickUp.
5. Select the option to disconnect or remove the integration.
6. Confirm the action if prompted.

After disconnecting, you will no longer be able to attach new OneDrive files through the integration until you reconnect it. Existing attachments will continue to reference their original Microsoft locations.

Troubleshooting the OneDrive integration in ClickUp

If you experience issues while using OneDrive with ClickUp, use the following checks to resolve most problems.

Common connection issues

• Authorization errors: Sign out of Microsoft, sign back in with the correct account, and reconnect the integration inside ClickUp.
• Missing files: Confirm that the file still exists in OneDrive or SharePoint and that you have permission to view it.
• Access denied messages: Update the sharing settings of the file in Microsoft so the affected teammates can open it from ClickUp.

Refreshing the OneDrive integration in ClickUp

1. Disconnect the integration using the steps described earlier.
2. Log out of both ClickUp and your Microsoft account.
3. Log back in to Microsoft, then to ClickUp.
4. Reconnect OneDrive from the integrations area in ClickUp.

If these steps do not fix the issue, review Microsoft service status for outages and verify that your organization has not restricted third-party app connections.
