Connect with one Microsoft sign-in.
One sign-in authorizes Findest with Files.ReadWrite. That is enough to browse your real folder tree, including document libraries from SharePoint and Teams, not just an app-only folder.
Integration
Findest for OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams included.
Connect your mailbox and Findest reads every matching attachment, names it, and files it into the OneDrive or SharePoint folder your rule points to. Your real folder tree, not a new app-only folder.
Files.ReadWrite: read and write, and we say so plainly
- Permission
Files.ReadWriteRead and write on your files. That is what lets the picker show your real folders.- Where it can file
- Four placesPersonal OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint libraries and Teams channel folders.
- What it writes
- Only the rule's folderFindest uploads into the folder your rule points to and nowhere else.
- Disconnect
- Copy deleted, grant staysMicrosoft doesn't let an app's grant be revoked from outside, so we tell you where to remove it.
How it lands in OneDrive
Connect once. Then browse your real tree.
Every rule picks its OneDrive folder.
Set a rule once: payslip, OneDrive, hr/2026. Change your mind later and repoint it to another folder in seconds; nothing already filed moves.
Each match lands renamed.
A matching attachment is read, renamed Type_Sender_Date and uploaded into that folder, usually within five minutes of arriving. The History links to the file.
Where files can land
Microsoft scatters your files across four places. The picker shows all of them.
OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint and Teams are one storage layer wearing four names, so a rule can file into any of them. Connect a personal account, a work account, or both.
Documents
hr
contracts
2026
OneDrive (personal)
The account behind onedrive.live.com, with the folders you already keep there.
OneDrive for Business
The drive your work Microsoft 365 account gets. Connect either one, or both.
SharePoint libraries
Any site library your account can open shows up as a destination folder.
Teams channel folders
A channel's Files tab is a SharePoint folder underneath, so it appears too.
The permission, honestly
Files.ReadWrite is read and write. Here is what each half is for.
It is the question people ask before connecting, so here is the plain version rather than a reassuring sentence.
| What Findest does | Why it needs it |
|---|---|
| Lists your folders | Read. Powers the picker so you choose a real folder instead of typing a path. Folder names only, to show the tree. |
| Creates the filed document | Write. The only way to put a renamed file into your folder. The folder your rule points to. |
| Creates a missing subfolder | Write. Only when a rule's folder template asks for one. Inside the rule's folder. |
| Everything else | Not used. Findest does not open, move or delete files it did not write. Nothing. |
The grant technically covers your OneDrive the way Microsoft's own file picker would. The limit that matters is in what Findest does with it: uploads go to the folder your rule names. Your tokens stay on the server and never reach your browser, and the database and files are hosted in London, UK.
Disconnecting
Leaving is clean, with one step left to you.
Disconnecting OneDrive in Findest deletes our copy of the connection and stops new uploads at once. Files already filed stay exactly where they are in your OneDrive.
Microsoft is the one exception among the clouds we support: it doesn't let an app revoke a single app's consent from outside, so the grant stays on your Microsoft account until you remove it. Findest tells you where, account.live.com/consent/Manage, right after you disconnect. Google and Dropbox are revoked at source.
Does it work with SharePoint document libraries, not just OneDrive?
Yes. If a SharePoint or Teams document library shows up in your OneDrive folder tree, the same folder picker and rules reach it.
Do I have to give Findest access to my whole OneDrive?
Microsoft's grant is Files.ReadWrite, which covers your OneDrive the way its own picker would. Findest only uploads into the folder your rule points to. The Security page explains why we ask for that scope.
Can I file into a SharePoint or Teams folder?
Yes. Document libraries on SharePoint sites and the Files tab of a Teams channel are both SharePoint folders underneath, so they appear in the folder picker like any other destination.
What happens if I disconnect OneDrive later?
Files already filed stay where they are in your OneDrive. Findest deletes its copy of the connection and stops uploading. Microsoft doesn't allow revoking a single app from outside, so remove the grant yourself at account.live.com/consent/Manage if you want it gone.
Why can't Findest revoke the Microsoft grant for me?
Microsoft offers no endpoint to revoke one app's delegated consent. The closest option signs you out of every app, which is far broader than a disconnect. So we delete our side and point you to the page where you can remove it.
Where is my data stored?
The database and filed documents are hosted in London, UK. Your OneDrive files stay in your own Microsoft account; Findest only writes the filed copies there.
Does Findest read my OneDrive files?
It lists folders so you can pick a destination, and writes the documents it files. It does not open, move or delete files it did not create.
