Microsoft OneDrive data classification integration

Automate data classification by integrating MineOS with Microsoft OneDrive

How It Works

MineOS connects to your Microsoft 365 tenant and scans the files in your employees' OneDrive accounts to detect the types of personal data they contain.

Note: This article covers data classification. Setting up OneDrive for privacy requests is covered in the Microsoft OneDrive DSR integration article.

OneDrive and SharePoint

OneDrive for Business is built on top of SharePoint: each employee's OneDrive is a private, single-user SharePoint site in your company's tenant. In MineOS, the SharePoint (Tenant) integration covers only your company's shared sites. To scan both shared and personal sites, connect both the SharePoint (Tenant) and OneDrive (Tenant) integrations.

Choose the right connection type

• Microsoft OneDrive (Tenant): recommended. An app-mode integration: you grant MineOS app-level access to your tenant, so it can scan every user's OneDrive.
• Microsoft OneDrive: a legacy integration on the path to deprecation. If you use it, switch to OneDrive (Tenant).

Before You Start

• You need a OneDrive for Business account with administrator permissions.
• Have your Microsoft 365 Tenant ID ready.
• [Optional] Enable Preview mode to view sample PII values alongside classification results. You must enable Preview mode before running the scan.

Setting Up

1. Log in to MineOS. On the left sidebar, click Inventory → Add data source, search for OneDrive and add it.
2. Open the system and go to the DSR & integrations tab. If the system already has an instance, click Add instance.
3. Under Action for fulfilling requests, select Integration. In the Integration Type dropdown, select Microsoft OneDrive (Tenant), then click Set up integration.
4. In the setup wizard, enter your Microsoft 365 Tenant ID and click Connect.
5. Sign in to Microsoft with an administrator account and click Accept to grant MineOS consent on behalf of your organization. You're then redirected back to MineOS.

Mark the Scan this source using Data Classifier checkbox and click Finish.

You're done! MineOS has been connected to your OneDrive.

Note: OneDrive (Tenant) uses app-level access to your whole tenant, which only an administrator who can grant tenant-wide consent can approve. If you use the legacy Microsoft OneDrive type instead, select Consent on behalf of your organization when you authorize; without it, MineOS has limited permissions and won't be able to scan all content.
