SharePoint and OneDrive

SharePoint and OneDrive connections let Liberator read delimited files, Parquet, Excel, and other supported formats from Microsoft 365 storage. In Liberator 2.2 and later, paste a standard share link copied from the browser or desktop to connect. Wildcard folder paths (for example, reports/*.csv) are supported for both source types.
1

Copy a share link in Microsoft 365

In the browser or desktop app, open the file or folder, then Share → Copy link. The link looks like https://your-org.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/....
2

Add a connection in Liberator

Go to Connections → Add Connection and select SharePoint or OneDrive.
3

Paste the share link

Paste the link into the Share link field. Liberator clears any previously entered folder path when a share link is detected.
4

Sign in with Microsoft

Complete the Sign in with Microsoft dialog. If it does not appear automatically, click Sign in with Microsoft.
5

Test connection

Click Test Connection. On success, the resolved internal path replaces the share link in the field. Confirm the account has at least read access to the linked location.
6

Finish onboarding

Continue through dataset configuration (file pattern, columns, date/time) as for other file-based sources.

​
Fixed date and time (non-time-series files)

For static reference files without a date column:
  1. On the Date / Time step, select Fixed date and time.
  2. Enter the timestamp Liberator should assign to records.
If the source has a date column, select it from the Date column dropdown instead.

​
Date format picker (2.2+)

When choosing a date format during onboarding, Liberator:
  • Shows a live example from your sample data (for example, 25 Jun 2026 instead of generic DD MMM YYYY).
  • Ranks formats by likelihood, with the best match at the top.
Select the example that matches your source dates.
