Hebno can attach files straight from your personal OneDrive into a conversation. Files are read on demand when you attach them — nothing is synced, indexed, or kept in the background. Each member connects their own Microsoft account. A connection is personal to you; it is not shared with your team or organisation.

​
Connect your Microsoft account

  1. In the chat input, open the connector menu (the globe control next to the attachment button), or type / and choose OneDrive.
  2. Select Connect OneDrive and sign in with Microsoft.
  3. Approve the requested permission (read-only access to your files).
Hebno returns you to chat once the account is linked. A confirmation toast appears when the connection succeeds. You only connect once — the link stays active for future chats.
If you see “The OneDrive connector is not configured for this workspace”, the connector has not been enabled for your organisation yet. Contact your administrator.

​
Attach a file

With your account connected, attach from OneDrive in either way:
  • Globe menu → OneDrive → browse folders (breadcrumbs or back control) or search by name in the file picker.
  • Slash command → type /, choose OneDrive, then pick a file from the list or search by name. Typing in that submenu filters OneDrive files only.
Select a file to attach it to your current message. The attached file appears as a chip on the message, the same as a file uploaded from your device. Send the message to include it in the conversation.

​
What you can attach

The file picker accepts the same files as a normal upload:
  • Images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP)
  • PDF documents
  • Word (.docx) and PowerPoint (.pptx) files
  • Plain text, CSV, and Markdown
Each file must be 10 MB or smaller. Larger or unsupported files cannot be attached.

​
How your files are handled

  • Hebno reads only the file you select, only when you attach it.
  • The attached copy is stored in your organisation’s private storage, so it renders in chat history. It is not publicly accessible.
  • Your Microsoft sign-in is stored securely and used only to read files you choose to attach.

Availability

Today the connector supports personal OneDrive only. Shared libraries and SharePoint sites are not yet available. For Google Drive, see Attach from Google Drive. For file uploads from your device, see Using chat.
