How this automation works
Upload files and attachments you send via Email directly to OneDrive. When you email IFTTT's Email trigger (optionally with an attachment), the Applet downloads the attachment URL and uploads the file to the OneDrive folder you choose. Great for backing up receipts, photos, or documents from Email into OneDrive for quick access, organization, and sharing.
