Sync NextOS with
OneDrive
Connect a Microsoft account and NextOS syncs one folder to OneDrive with Graph's real delta feed.
01What syncs
Your files,
kept in step.
- One root folder in your OneDrive (created on first connect) mirrored against your NextOS VFS
- Changes detected via Microsoft Graph's native delta query - a cheap incremental feed, not a full folder re-scan on every pass
- Large files automatically, via Graph's chunked upload sessions above the 4 MB simple-upload ceiling
02How the connection works
Authentication,
handled once.
OAuth - connect in SettingsA standard OAuth redirect to Microsoft's consent screen; NextOS never sees your Microsoft password, only a short-lived access token the server refreshes as needed.
03Setup
Three steps,
start to finish.
Open Settings > Cloud storage and choose OneDrive
Approve access on Microsoft's consent screen
NextOS creates its sync folder in your OneDrive and starts syncing on the schedule in Settings
04Limits, honestly
What it
won't do.
- One connection, one root folder per account - not your whole OneDrive
- Large uploads chunk in 320 KiB-aligned pieces per Graph's own requirement, handled automatically
- A token Microsoft revokes (password change, admin action) shows as "reconnect" rather than syncing silently stale data
05FAQ
Common
questions.
Does NextOS see my whole OneDrive?
No - it works inside one dedicated root folder it creates on connect, never the rest of your OneDrive.
What happens to very large files?
Anything over 4 MB automatically switches to a chunked upload session instead of a single request - no size limit imposed by NextOS itself.
How fast does a change on another device show up?
Sync runs on a schedule, and detecting what changed is cheap thanks to Graph's delta query - it doesn't need to re-list the whole folder each pass.
