How this automation works
Automatically upload any file you email to IFTTT to your OneDrive. When you send an email with an attachment to your IFTTT email address, the file is saved in your chosen OneDrive folder for safekeeping or easy access. Ideal for quickly backing up important attachments without manual uploads. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
