What is OneDrive?
OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud file storage, part of Microsoft 365. Teams keep policies, handbooks, and internal guides there as Word documents, PDFs, and spreadsheets. Kelu indexes one OneDrive, or one folder in it, through a Microsoft 365 app registration, so those files become citable knowledge.
How Kelu works with OneDrive
Everything you can do once the integration is connected.
Microsoft 365 app registration
Kelu connects through a Microsoft Entra ID app registration with the Files.Read.All application permission — no individual user password is needed.
Drive or folder scope
Index a whole drive, named by a user's email or a Drive ID, or just one folder in it such as Documents/Handbook. Subfolders are included.
Office files and PDFs
PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, HTML, Markdown, and text files are indexed. Files over 32 MB and files with no readable text are skipped.
Frequent sync and restricted visibility
OneDrive syncs every 10 minutes. Add the source to an internal knowledge base to keep its files for workspace members only.
How to set it up
- 1
Register an app in Microsoft Entra ID, add the Files.Read.All application permission, and have an admin grant consent.
- 2
Create a client secret, then add a OneDrive source in Kelu with the tenant ID, client ID, and client secret.
- 3
Enter whose OneDrive to index (an email or a Drive ID) and, optionally, a folder. Test the connection and add the source.

OneDrive — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about connecting Kelu to OneDrive.
Kelu's Microsoft 365 source is OneDrive: it indexes one person's OneDrive, or a shared or secondary drive by its Drive ID. There is no separate SharePoint site source.
Register an app in Microsoft Entra ID and grant it the Files.Read.All application permission with admin consent. Provide the tenant ID, client ID, and client secret in Kelu — no individual user credentials are required.
PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .xltm), CSV and TSV, HTML, Markdown, and plain text. Other types such as .pptx and old .xls are skipped, and so are files over 32 MB. Sync history lists each skipped file and why.
Yes. Add the source to an internal knowledge base, and its files are restricted. They are answered in Ask, the browser extension and internal MCP servers, never in public-facing customer chat.
Yes. The Microsoft Teams bot can query Kelu knowledge bases that include OneDrive sources. Employees asking questions in Teams receive AI answers grounded in those files with citations back to them.
