Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I have OneDrive and Dynamics 365 integrated using SharePoint. I have over 1000+ records in Opportunity but the folder for recrods in OneDrive does not exist until I upload a document from app. I have documents for all opportunities and I want to copy those documents in OneDrive.

I can go to opportunity and upload a document and then the OneDrive folder is created and I can copy rest of files in the folder but its too lengthy process. Is there some more easily doable way?

Thanks for any help in advance :-)

Hi naveedkamran ,

you can achieve your goal making crm do the task, however you need to pass through sdk.

You need to (by sdk):

1) retrieve all attachments related to opportunity (object type code 3)

2) loop all attachments

3) create an identical attachment

4) delete current attachment

Doing so, crm will create the new folder on SharePoint.

Please let me know if you solve.

No this is not what I want. In short I want a One Drive folders to be created automatically from Dynamics CRM entities.
