Connect Microsoft 365
Index Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files from your OneDrive through read-only delegated OAuth.
The Microsoft 365 connector reads Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files from the authorizing user's OneDrive through Microsoft Graph. It requests delegated, read-only access: no SharePoint sites, no tenant-wide permissions, and no writes.
You need the workspace admin role in Orcha and a Microsoft account with OneDrive.
Add the connector
- Open Connectors and choose Microsoft 365.
- Approve Microsoft's consent screen; the request is limited to reading your files and profile.
- Orcha catalogs your OneDrive: folder hierarchy, file names, sizes, and revisions, without storing bodies.
Choose what gets indexed
OneDrive starts in Index names only mode. Set rules per folder to retain document content; Word, Excel, and PowerPoint bodies are extracted as text. Delta syncs follow Graph's change feed, so unchanged files are never re-downloaded, and files deleted in OneDrive leave the index on a later sync.
Use it
Indexed documents come back from search cited to the exact file and revision, with a link into OneDrive, from the Orcha app, the REST API, and AI assistants connected over MCP.
Remove it
- Pause stops syncing while keeping indexed content searchable.
- Revoke invalidates Orcha's Microsoft credential and deactivates the source; indexed content is kept until you disconnect or reconnect.
- Disconnect purges indexed documents, search chunks, cached content, and sync state from your workspace.
- From Microsoft: remove Orcha under your account's app permissions (or My Apps in a work account). Then disconnect in Orcha to purge indexed content as well.
