D365 Business Central OneDrive Integration / Document Management Solutions

Posted on by 85

Hello everyone,

I have 3 queries on using OneDrive in combination with Business Central SaaS.

  • if I use OneDrive to storage attachments, will that have an impact on the database storage (80 gb)?  Or it doesn't affect the calculation at all  because the data reside on OneDrive? 
  • OneDrive seems to be part of the Microsoft 365 subscription. I would assume I don't need to purchase any additional licenses?
  • With sharepoint integration being retired, what are other Document Management apps available on the market that the community would recommend?

I have used this FAQ for reference OneDrive for Business FAQ - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

Apologies if these questions have been already asked or if they are inappropriate.

Thanks for any replies.

    As long as you have your files on onedrive and not loaded into your database then they will not affect your database size.

    You have a quota included in your MS 365 subscription but might have to pay more if you exceed that limit.

    There are a lot of options for sharepoint and documents avalible on appsource.

    Have a look here:

    Hi Inge,

    thank you very much for your quick reply.

    I suppose using the new function "Upload to OneDrive" will just duplicate the attachment unless I don't remove it manually?

    Thanks again for your help

    Hi Fab,

    Yes upload to Onedrive will only duplicate.  To save space in the database you can link the files without uploading them to Business Central.
