Microsoft Outlook → Microsoft OneDrive

Outlook email attachments are uploaded to OneDrive as they arrive.

Steps

When when an email arrives in outlook — Microsoft Outlook node only reads
Then upload the attachment to onedrive — Microsoft OneDrive node can be undone

Fields to fill (2)

The file has every node wired up. These are the blanks only you can fill (your form, your sheet, your words).

Node	What to do
Microsoft OneDrive	note: takes the first attachment (`attachment_0`); for every attachment, add a Split Out step before this one
Microsoft OneDrive	fill `parentId` (ID of the parent folder that will contain the file)

Accounts to connect (2)

In n8n, pick or add a credential on each node — one of the types below.

Microsoft Outlook: microsoftOutlookOAuth2Api or microsoftOAuth2Api or microsoftEntraServicePrincipalApi
Microsoft OneDrive: microsoftOneDriveOAuth2Api or microsoftOAuth2Api or microsoftEntraServicePrincipalApi

Need something slightly different? Same engine, your own words:

Run it on Apify — type your own sentence, get the workflow back in seconds. Open Bridgecore on Apify (pay per use, $0.02–$0.05; nothing charged on errors).
Ask your AI — add the MCP server https://mcp.usebridgecore.com/ to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, then just say what should happen. Tools: do, find_recipe, plan_automation, make_n8n_workflow. Free to plan.
Ask me first — add “and ask me first” to any step (“… and post it on X and ask me first”) and the workflow sends you an Approve / Decline message (Slack, Telegram or Gmail) before that step runs. Nothing is sent, posted, deleted or paid until you tap Approve; no answer in a day = declined.

Get the n8n file

Download outlook-attachments-to-onedrive.json

Open a new, empty workflow in n8n.
Open the workflow menu (⋯) and choose Import from File — or copy the JSON below and paste it onto the canvas (Ctrl/Cmd+V).
Connect the accounts, fill the fields above, run one test, then turn the workflow on.

Or copy the JSON
