Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native OneDrive integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right OneDrive calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.

    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your OneDrive data, across all 71 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke OneDrive access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in OneDrive, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when OneDrive is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach OneDrive.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every OneDrive action to support review and sign off.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the Microsoft Graph API chunking method for large files. When an agent triggers an upload for a file that exceeds the standard small file limit, Ceven creates an upload session. This allows the file to be broken into smaller pieces and sent sequentially. If a network interruption occurs, the agent can resume the upload from the last successful chunk rather than starting over. This ensures that high resolution videos or massive datasets land in your OneDrive without timing out or failing due to payload limits. You will see a progress update in the workflow logs as the chunks are committed.
Yes. Ceven utilizes delta queries to track modifications. Instead of scanning your entire drive every few minutes, the agent requests a delta token. This token represents a specific point in time. The next time the agent checks, it only asks OneDrive for the items that have changed since that token was issued. This includes new files, deleted folders, or updated metadata. This approach is highly efficient and avoids hitting API rate limits while ensuring your workflows trigger almost immediately after a file is saved or moved by a human user.
OneDrive handles name conflicts by automatically appending a number to the end of the file or folder name. For example, if you try to create a folder named Project Alpha and it already exists, OneDrive will name the new one Project Alpha 1. Ceven captures the actual created name from the API response and updates the workflow context. This prevents the agent from overwriting existing data accidentally and ensures that every piece of content is preserved. If your workflow requires a strict naming convention, you can use the Search Items action first to check for existence.
OneDrive uses pagination for listing items. If a folder contains thousands of files, the API returns a subset and a next link. Ceven automatically handles this pagination logic behind the scenes. The agent will continue to make requests following the next link until the entire collection is retrieved or a safety limit is reached. This means you can run a report on every file in a massive archive without needing to manually trigger multiple calls. For extremely large drives, this process may take a few seconds longer to complete.
Ceven interacts with the OneDrive permissions model via the Invite User and Create Sharing Link tools. You can specify whether a link is view only or allows editing. When inviting a user, the agent can assign specific roles like owner, write, or read. It is important to note that these permissions are governed by your organization's global Microsoft 365 tenant settings. If your IT admin has disabled external sharing, Ceven cannot override that policy to create a public link; the API will return a forbidden error which the agent will report back to you.
When you connect OneDrive via OAuth, you grant Ceven access based on the scopes requested. Typically, this is files.readwrite.all, which allows the agent to see and manage all files in your drive to provide full automation. However, you can revoke this access at any time through your Microsoft account security settings. Once revoked, all active tokens are invalidated and the agent can no longer reach your data. We do not store your password; we only hold an encrypted refresh token that allows us to request a short lived access token for each specific action.
Yes. OneDrive is subject to strict throttling limits to prevent service abuse. If a workflow attempts to perform hundreds of write operations per second, Microsoft may return a 429 Too Many Requests error. Ceven implements an exponential backoff strategy to handle this, meaning the agent will wait a few seconds and try again automatically. Another quirk is the path length limit; very deep folder hierarchies with extremely long names can sometimes cause API errors. We recommend keeping folder paths concise to ensure the highest reliability across all Microsoft 365 environments.
Ceven can interact with the recycle bin if the item was deleted via the API. When the Delete Item action is called, the file is not permanently erased but moved to the OneDrive recycle bin. While Ceven does not have a dedicated undelete tool in every version, it can list items and check metadata to see if a file is in a deleted state. To fully restore a file, you would typically use the OneDrive web interface, though the agent can notify you the moment a critical file is moved to the bin so you can act quickly.
