The Drive AI connects to OneDrive and SharePoint document libraries and organizes them in place: it reads your documents, then moves, renames and files them into folders. Nothing is copied out of Microsoft 365 to do this, and it acts with each person’s own Microsoft permissions. Every change is shown before it’s made and can be undone. Connected OneDrive and SharePoint come with Max, Team, Business and Enterprise.

What you need

  • A plan with connected drives: Max, Team, Business or Enterprise. See Plans & Pricing.
  • Your Microsoft account connected in Settings > Integrations: OneDrive for your own files, SharePoint for document libraries.
  • Administrator approval for work and school accounts. Your Microsoft 365 administrator approves The Drive AI in Microsoft Entra once. Until then you see Administrator approval is required.
  • For SharePoint libraries: an owner or admin adds each library once. Each member then reaches it through their own Microsoft account. See Personal drives and shared drives.

How it works

1

Connect OneDrive or SharePoint

Open Settings > Integrations and click OneDrive or SharePoint, then sign in. The agent builds a catalog of your files. When the account shows Agent: ready, it can find every file.
2

Add the libraries you want

For SharePoint, an owner or admin opens Settings > Agent, finds their account under What the agent can see, clicks Add library, searches for the site and chooses the library.
3

Ask the agent

Open the library or folder under Connected in the left sidebar and ask, for example “File these contracts by client, then by year from the signing date.”
4

Check and apply

The agent shows a card with every move and rename. Click Apply N changes, or tell it what to do differently. Click Undo on the card to reverse it later.
5

Keep it organized

To file new documents as they land in a library, set up a workflow with a File Uploaded trigger on that site and library. See SharePoint sites and libraries.

What the agent can do in OneDrive and SharePoint

  • Find files by name, and by content using Microsoft’s own search.
  • Read PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and text files.
  • Move, rename, copy, create folders and move files to the recycle bin.
  • Save files it makes into a OneDrive or SharePoint folder.
  • Move or copy files between OneDrive or SharePoint and another drive, as one change. See Move files between drives.

What it can’t do

  • It doesn’t read images stored in OneDrive or SharePoint.
  • Undo of a move to the recycle bin in work or school OneDrive and SharePoint needs SharePoint access to be allowed for your account. Otherwise restore the file from the recycle bin on the web. Moves, renames and new folders can always be undone.
  • It can’t act beyond your own permissions. If your account can only view a library, the agent can read it but not change it.
