Import documents from OneDrive folder

If you have documents within your OneDrive that you wish to add to a file, you can easily do this by using the Import -> From OneDrive.

Once you click this, a pop-up window will open with your OneDrive folders, where you can locate the documents you need. Select all you need to import to file, and click Select.

You will be asked to select a group activity where you would like to add those documents. Tick the relevant group, or leave it on Others and click OK.

Selected documents will now show in your file activities, where you can continue working on them.

You can share a folder in your OneDrive with a client so they can upload documents you need directly to that folder. Follow the steps below to allow your client (or any external user) to upload documents to a OneDrive folder. You can then follow the steps above to import those documents into the file.
