i want to use onedrive for business for my backups. there I have more storage then on my personal. can you add these integration?
Not planned from my end, because of mainly three reasons
- OfB doesn’t have the app folder meaning the integration would need full read/write permissions on the entire OneDrive
- OfB doesn’t have descriptions, so no place to store metadata
- I don’t expect a lot of people would want to use OfB with their personal data
That doesn’t mean of course that somebody else won’t add it.
I share the requirement. I think more than some uses have OfB. There is the space for backups.

thats true. you have more space on business accounts then on private
Also, while it “onedrive for business” sounds big, it is plenty useful for small independents (soho, zzp). I have a one user subscription. It would really be good if it would work.
I also would need this. Is t that much Work? IS IT that different?
It is very different. Onedrive for business is just a SharePoint mount point.
Maybe combine a few local backups with something like Duplicati that will keep historical versions of files that were in the local directory. It will back up to many cloud locations, including OfB. And will back up much more than HA!
It’s not that much work tbh. The main problem I see is, that (due to how OfB works) you’d always need to give Home Assistant “Write” permissions on your entire drive (not a separate folder like it is for the current onedrive integration), which would probably be a deal breaker for most people…
The other problem is that it would require a separate integration, which is very similar to the onedrive one, but not quite enough, and I’m currently not interested in maintaining two integrations…
I too would like to see this supported. However, I see there’s a docker image for a OneDrive client that supports all flavors of MS accounts. Has anyone tried using this and mounting it as a local folder for HA to backup to? I am going to try this when I have a moment. Will report back.
