Connect a source
Enabling a storage provider for the organization, then connecting the account a flow will read through.
Before a flow can watch a folder, the storage provider has to be available to the organization and someone has to connect an account to it. These are two separate steps done by two different people, and a flow cannot be created until both are complete.
Enable the provider
An owner or admin enables the storage integration once for the whole organization, from Settings under Integrations. Until that happens, other members do not see the provider at all.
Enabling makes the provider available; it does not connect anything or grant Auron access to any files on its own.
Connect an account
Each person then connects their own account by choosing Connect, which sends them to the provider to sign in and grant access, and returns them to Auron. Access is read-only: Auron reads files and never writes back to the folder.
A flow is bound to the specific connection it was created with, and keeps reading through that account on every future run, refreshing its access automatically. This matters for two reasons: a flow only ever sees files that its connected account can see, and if that person later disconnects the account or loses access to the folder, the flow pauses with an error rather than silently returning nothing.
Available providers
| Provider | What a flow can watch |
|---|---|
| OneDrive | Folders in the connected user's own drive |
| SharePoint / Teams | Document libraries on sites the connected user can reach, plus their own drive |
| Google Drive | Folders in My Drive and shared drives the connected user can reach |
SharePoint reaches across sites rather than a single personal drive, so depending on how your tenant is configured a Microsoft administrator may need to approve the request the first time someone connects.
Google Drive is a limited-access preview
Google has not yet completed verification of the Auron Drive integration. The consent screen shows an unverified app warning, and only accounts registered in advance as test users can connect. Google Drive is also hidden until it is switched on for your organization, so contact support if you want it enabled.
Where this is managed
Providers are enabled and accounts connected from Settings under Integrations. Connecting works the same way from a phone, described in Integrations on mobile. Once a connection exists, continue to Create a flow.
