Overview
This section covers how Business Central works with OneDrive for cloud file storage, file sharing, and collaborative editing. One page is aimed at users and administrators and describes what the integration does and how to set it up. The other is aimed at developers.
The developer page explains how to use the Document Sharing module from the system application and the Document Service Management codeunit. With these, you can enable file sharing through OneDrive or through a custom document service. It mentions document sharing flows, the share action, event subscribers, a SharePoint service, and blob and media types, and it references 2022 release wave 1 and wave 2.
Start with the integration overview to understand the user features and setup. Move to the extension page if you need to build or customize sharing behavior.
