Mural's OneDrive integration lets you easily import files from your Microsoft OneDrive into a mural. Imported files have a thumbnail preview and link to the file or document in OneDrive.

Note: Use these same steps to import files from your Sharepoint site.

If you're an admin on an Enterprise plan and want to enable the OneDrive integration, check out our OneDrive admin guide.

Use the integration

Ready to import your OneDrive files into your mural? Great!

To use the OneDrive integration:

  1. From an open mural, click Files in the left sidebar.

  2. Select From OneDrive.

    If it’s your first time using the integration, you’ll need to follow the account flow to:

    1. Give OneDrive permission to access your Mural account.

    2. Log in to your Microsoft OneDrive account.

    3. Give Mural permission to access your OneDrive account.

  3. In the OneDrive modal, click to the left of the file(s) you want to import. A checkmark appears when you’ve selected a file. (You can select multiple files.)

    Note: Hover over a file’s name to see a preview of its contents. To access files from a Sharepoint site, select them from the Quick access list or click More places.

  4. Click the Select button.

The files you selected import directly into your mural as thumbnail links. Click the thumbnail to open the OneDrive file:

Note: Anyone on the mural will see the preview image of the document, but won't be able to view the document in OneDrive unless they have access to it in OneDrive.

To delete a thumbnail, just select it and press the Delete key on your keyboard.
