Copilot Studio

How to use Microsoft OneDrive with Copilot Studio

You want Microsoft OneDrive inside Copilot Studio so it can find and review files, clean up duplicate files, organize a shared folder, and review and control file access — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.

Create your Microsoft OneDrive gateway

The gateway is the thing Copilot Studio connects to, and it is where you decide which Microsoft OneDrive tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

Create an Arcade account

Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Microsoft OneDrive tools

In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Microsoft OneDrive tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
Copy your gateway URL

Every client below needs it.

Heads up

Needs a Microsoft 365 subscription with access to Copilot Studio, plus an Arcade API key.

Add an MCP tool to your agent

In Copilot Studio, open your agent → Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol → New tool.
Point it at your gateway

Give the server a name and description, put your gateway URL in Server URL, set Authentication to OAuth 2.0 and Type to Dynamic discovery.
Authorize and try it out

Saving redirects you to Arcade to approve access. Then start a conversation and use your Microsoft OneDrive tools — Arcade authorizes each service just in time.

Copilot Studio can now act on your Microsoft OneDrive account. Click a prompt to copy it.

Use permissions to control whether an agent can create share links, move files, or delete them. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so an agent can find and read files without being allowed to share or delete them.
