Automatically sync your DroneDeploy exports directly to your Microsoft OneDrive or OneDrive for Business folders to keep your team updated with the latest aerial data.
Overview
The OneDrive integration allows for Auto Exports, saving your team from manually requesting and downloading standard exports after a map completes processing. Each time a new map processes in a configured project, the data triggers an automatic sync to your chosen OneDrive destination.
Availability
Auto Exports (required for this sync) are only available to Enterprise-level administrators.
Please contact your Account Executive to enable this integration.

Key Features
Automated workflows: Trigger exports automatically upon completion of map processing.
Organization-wide sync: Enterprise customers can select Use on all projects to ensure every map created by the team appears in a specific OneDrive folder.
Folder support: Organize data effectively by pointing different projects to specific cloud directories.
Limitations
File size and type: OneDrive supports syncing unzipped files up to 500 MB and zipped files up to 1 GB. Supported formats include JPEG, PDF, GeoTIFF (.zip), DXF/SHP (.zip), Shapefile (.zip), OBJ (.zip), LAS (.zip), XYZ Point Cloud (.zip), and RCP (.zip).
Existing data: Auto-exports only apply to data processed after the configuration is set. If your project already contains data and you want to upload it to OneDrive, you must use the Run option in the Auto Exports menu or perform a manual upload.
Platform support: As noted in Availability, this integration currently requires an Enterprise-level subscription and administrator permissions.
