How to Automatically Upload Gravity Forms File Attachments to Microsoft OneDrive & SharePoint (2026 Enterprise Guide)

Managing file uploads from web forms is one of the quickest ways to consume server storage, degrade database performance, and introduce compliance headaches. When collecting job applications, legal contracts, client deliverables, or KYC identification documents through Gravity Forms, saving files locally on your WordPress host server is neither scalable nor secure.

In this authoritative guide, we will walk you through setting up an automated, enterprise-grade pipeline to automatically offload Gravity Forms file attachments directly into Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint Document Libraries in real-time with zero server storage overhead.

Why Offload Form Uploads to Microsoft OneDrive?

For modern organizations operating on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, storing form assets directly in OneDrive bridges the gap between customer-facing WordPress websites and internal operational workflows.

Storage Solution Comparison: WordPress Hosting vs. Google Drive vs. Microsoft OneDrive

Choosing the right cloud storage connector depends heavily on your existing enterprise software stack:

Step-by-Step Setup Guide: Connecting Gravity Forms to OneDrive

Setting up the integration takes less than 3 minutes using the official
Gravity Forms OneDrive Integration Premium Add-on. Follow these 4 straightforward steps:

Step 1: Install and Activate the Add-on

Download the plugin ZIP file from your GravityExtra account dashboard. Upload it to your WordPress admin area via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and click Activate.

Step 2: Authenticate with Microsoft Account (OAuth 2.0)

Navigate to Forms → Settings → OneDrive. Click the Connect to OneDrive button. You will be redirected to the secure Microsoft OAuth authorization screen. Grant permission for the connector to create and manage files in your OneDrive, and you will be returned to your WordPress dashboard with an active authorization token.

Step 3: Create a Dedicated OneDrive Feed

Open any Gravity Form containing a File Upload or Multi-File Upload field. Go to Settings → OneDrive and click Add New Feed:

• Feed Name: Give your feed a descriptive title (e.g. Client Resume Uploads).
• Destination Folder: Select your root target folder directly from your live OneDrive directory tree.
• Subfolder Path (Optional): Enter dynamic subfolder nesting up to 3 levels deep using merge tags like {Client Name:1}/{Year:2}.
• Select Upload Fields: Check the specific file upload fields you wish to transmit.

Step 4: Configure Conditional Logic & Submit

Optionally enable Conditional Logic to only transmit files when specific user answers are selected (e.g. “Send to HR OneDrive folder only if Department is Engineering”). Save the feed, and you are ready to test a live submission!
