Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Q Business console. 1. From the left navigation menu, choose **Data sources**. 1. From the **Data sources** page, choose **Add data source**. 1. Then, on the **Add data sources** page, from **Data sources**, add the **Microsoft OneDrive** data source to your Amazon Q application. 1. Then, on the **Microsoft OneDrive** data source page, enter the following information: 1. In **Source**, enter the following information: + **OneDrive Tenant ID** Enter your OneDrive Tenant ID without the protocol. You can find your OneDrive Tenant ID under Directory ID in the Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) admin center. 1. **Authorization** – Amazon Q Business crawls ACL information by default to ensure responses are generated only from documents your end users have access to. If supported for your connector, you can manage ACLs by selecting ** Enable ACLs ** to enable ACLs or **Disable ACLs** to disable them. To manage ACLs, you need specific IAM permissions. See [Grant permission to create data sources with ACLs disabled](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/setting-up.html#DisableAclOnDataSource) for more details. See [Authorization](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/connector-concepts.html#connector-authorization) for more details. 1. In **Authentication** – Choose between **New** and **Existing**. 1. If you choose **Existing**, select an existing secret for **Select secret**. If you choose **New**, enter the following information in the **New AWS Secrets Manager secret** section: 1. **Secret name** – A name for your secret. 1. For **Client ID** and **Client secret** – Enter the authentication credential values from your OneDrive account and then choose **Save authentication**. 1. **IAM role** – Choose an existing IAM role or create an IAM role to access your repository credentials and index content. **Note** IAM roles used for applications can't be used for data sources. If you are unsure if an existing role is used for an application, choose **Create a new role** to avoid errors. 1. In **Sync scope**, configure which OneDrive users and content to sync: 1. **Select OneDrive users** – Choose how to specify which users' content to sync: + **All users** – Select this option to sync content for all users in the organization. This allows comprehensive content discovery across all user accounts. + **Users from a user name file** – Choose this option to specify users via a file stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Select the location of the user name file by choosing **Browse**. **Note** If you choose this option, the IAM role for the data source must have read permissions for the Amazon S3 bucket where the file is stored. + **Specific users** – Choose this option to manually specify individual users. You can add a maximum of 10 users using this option. To add more than 10 users, create a file containing the usernames and choose **Users from a user name file**. 1. **Maximum single file size** – Set the maximum file size for crawling. During this ingestion, there are file size limits depending on the file type. Video files have a limit of up to 10 GB/10,240 MB. Audio files have a 2 GB/2,048 MB limit. PDF/Word/Powerpoint documents have a 500 MB limit. Excel and other supported file formats have a 50 MB limit. There are also limits to the amount of text extracted from these documents. CSV and Excel have a extracted text limit of 10MB, all other document formats have a limit of 30MB of extracted text. 1. **Additional configuration - *optional*** – All content will be indexed by default. However, you can also limit the scope with these additional options: 1. **Date filter** – Add a date range to filter content based on the last modified date: + **Start date** – Filter content modified after this date (YYYY/MM/DD format) + **End date - optional** – Filter content modified before this date (YYYY/MM/DD format) 1. **Filter patterns** – Add file path patterns to include or exclude certain folders and files from OneDrive: + **Include patterns** – Specify file paths to include in the sync. Enter the path pattern and choose **Add**. + **Exclude patterns** – Specify file paths to exclude from the sync. Enter the path pattern and choose **Add**. You can identify the path of a folder or file by following these instructions by (within OneDrive), navigating to the file or folder for which you want to apply a filte and clicking on the three-dot menu button next to the file/folder name and selecting "Details." In the following details panel, scroll down to the "Path" details and click on the "Copy" button next to the path. For shared folders and files, first click on “Open location” in the menu adjacent to the file or the folder name, and then follow the above directions. 1. **Multi-media content configuration – optional** – To enable content extraction from embedded images and visuals in documents, choose **Visual content in documents**. For more information, see [Extracting semantic meaning from embedded images and visuals](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/extracting-meaning-from-images.html). To extract audio transcriptions and video content, enable **Audio Files**. To extract video content, enable **Video files**.

If the percentage of documents to be deleted in your sync job exceeds the percentage you selected, the delete phase will be skipped and no documents from this data source will be deleted from your index. For more information, see [Document deletion safeguard](connector-concepts.md#document-deletion-safeguard). 1. In **Sync run schedule**, for **Frequency** – Choose how often Amazon Q will sync with your data source. For more details, see [Sync run schedule](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/connector-concepts.html#connector-sync-run). To learn how to start a data sync job, see [Starting data source connector sync jobs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/supported-datasource-actions.html#start-datasource-sync-jobs). 1. **Tags - *optional*** – Add tags to search and filter your resources or track your AWS costs. See [Tags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qbusiness-ug/tagging.html) for more details. 1. In **Data source details**, choose **Sync now** to allow Amazon Q to begin syncing (crawling and ingesting) data from your data source. When the sync job finishes, your data source is ready to use. **Note** View CloudWatch logs for your data source sync job by selecting **View CloudWatch logs**. If you encounter a `Resource not found exception` error, wait and try again as logs may not be available immediately. You can also view a detailed document-level report by selecting **View Report**. This report shows the status of each document during the crawl, sync, and index stages, including any errors. If the report is empty for an in-progress job, check back later as data is emitted to the report as events occur during the sync process.
