2023:OneDrive (CMIS Binding)

The OneDrive Connection Type is a CMIS Binding that connects Grooper to Microsoft OneDrive cloud services.

It provides access to OneDrive Personal or OneDrive for Business drives and SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server 2016 document libraries. More or less, all you have to do is sync Grooper and OneDrive by logging in using your OneDrive credentials and you can import from and export to your OneDrive folders. OneDrive drives and SharePoint libraries can be individually imported as a CMIS Repository. Each will expose themselves as hierarchical file system (HFS), where folders and files are represented by simple object types. As such, this binding is suitable for Unmapped rather than Mapped Export. You can still export metadata as a "buddy file" adjusting the Metadata Export property in the Unmapped Export Settings.

FYI	The OneDrive binding also provides access to files stored in SharePoint

Version Differences

When the OneDrive binding was added in version 2.72, it did not support full text querying. Full text searching is now possible as of Grooper version 2023.

• Use the CONTAINS() predicate in a CMIS Query to search document content in a One Drive repository based on a search string.
