How this automation works

Save files to OneDrive with a single button press. This Applet runs whenever you press your Do Button and downloads the file at the provided URL to upload it to the OneDrive folder you choose. It's ideal for quickly archiving photos, receipts, or shared links and works well for on-the-go capture or hands-free workflows using Do Button and OneDrive.
