# SharePoint and OneDrive

SharePoint and OneDrive connections let Liberator read delimited files, Parquet, Excel, and other [supported formats](/datasource-config/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.

## Connect with a share link

<Steps>
  <Step title="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/...`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a connection in Liberator">
    Go to **Connections → Add Connection** and select **SharePoint** or **OneDrive**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in with Microsoft">
    Complete the **Sign in with Microsoft** dialog. If it does not appear automatically, click **Sign in with Microsoft**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish onboarding">
    Continue through dataset configuration (file pattern, columns, date/time) as for other file-based sources.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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.
