This article provides details on linking your app to OneDrive storage using the built-in connector after Connecting to OneDrive (Personal) and authenticating a connection for the connector to use. Alternatively, you can use Connecting to Microsoft Graph.
For more detailed information on the OneDrive service, consult the official support documentation.

Send Media Files
If this is checked, you will be able to select the individual media files to send/attach.
These could be signature images, photos, or other attachments.
Site Name
This field is required if you use an MS Graph connection to authenticate this form connector; then you will need to provide a Site Name. This field value can be either the SharePoint site URL (e.g., tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/mysitename), or simply the Site or Subsite name.
File Name
Optionally enter a custom Microsoft OneDrive file name of your choice.
You can also create a dynamic attachment name using fields from your Form – hit the hammer icon to build it.
The file extension (.pdf, .xlsx, .docx etc) will be added to your name automatically.
Disable Random Code
Disable the default system behaviour of appending a 6-character random code to the generated file name.
e.g., instead of ‘FileName-abc123.pdf’, the file would be generated as ‘FileName.pdf’
Folder Path
Optionally, enter a folder path on Microsoft OneDrive for the exported file to be placed in. Path should be entered in the following format:
‘FolderName/AnotherFolder/FileGoesInThisOne’
Anonymize Personal Data
If enabled, data from fields marked as Personal Data will be converted to a non-human-readable format to aid privacy.
