    OneDrive is the same as Sharepoint. Use the SharePoint Folder connector.

     

    Make sure to specify only the base URL, not the entire path.

     

    In a pinch you can also use the manual Sharepoint.Contents() connector.

    Thanks, I'll try that in future. 

     

    This time I resolved it by having the colleague share a folder with the file in, as that then shows up in the "shared" folder in one drive. it's stupid that only folders sync there, not files. But I'll remember to sue the sharepoint connector going forward.

     

    Thanks for your help.
