# Create apps that manage files with OneDrive

> Let visitors view, browse, and upload files directly to OneDrive from your Zite app.

## How it works

Connecting OneDrive to your Zite app lets visitors view and search files in your OneDrive folders, and upload files without needing access to your Microsoft account. This enables you to:

* Display files and folders from OneDrive directly in your Zite app
* Let users upload files from your app and store them in OneDrive
* Organize and manage files based on app actions or workflows
* Trigger notifications automatically when specific events occur

## How to manage files

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect to OneDrive">
    In the chat box, request your app to be integrated with OneDrive or click the `plug icon` <Icon icon="plug" />.

    Then, sign in to your Microsoft work or school account.

    <Note>
      Personal Microsoft accounts are not supported.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your use case">
    Tell Zite how you want to use OneDrive in your app. In our example, we'll upload resumes to a Job Application folder.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy and share">
    That's it! Uploads from your Zite app will now show up in your OneDrive folder.
