# Access files on SharePoint Online

You can access files from your SharePoint Online sites in Nuvolos Applications. This is currently a preview feature; contact Nuvolos support to enable SharePoint data mounting for your Application.

### Authenticate with Microsoft 365

You must authenticate with Microsoft 365 in a web browser so that programmatic access to your data on SharePoint Online or OneDrive Business is authorised for Nuvolos Applications. The recommended approach is to authenticate using RClone on your own computer:

1. Install the RClone cloud storage manager utility on the computer you use to access Nuvolos.
2. Run rclone config and follow the prompts.
3. Select the **onedrive** cloud storage provider.
4. Select the appropriate Microsoft Cloud region (Global or Germany).
5. Choose the **auto-config** option. A browser tab opens for Microsoft 365 login.
6. After successful login, return to RClone in the command line and select **OneDrive Personal or Business** or **SharePoint site name or URL**.
7. For SharePoint, specify the URL of your site and select the folder containing the data you want to use.
8. When configuration is complete, RClone displays the **token** and **drive\_id**.

### Save credentials as Nuvolos secrets

Save the values displayed by RClone as Nuvolos account secrets:

* `SHAREPOINT_ACCESS_TOKEN` - the token value displayed by RClone.
* `SHAREPOINT_DRIVE_ID` - the drive\_id value displayed by RClone.

See [Reference › Configuration › Secrets](/reference/configuration/environment-variables-and-secrets.md) for full instructions on adding Nuvolos secrets.

### Enable the SharePoint add-on

SharePoint mounting is currently a preview feature. Contact Nuvolos support to enable it for your Application. Once enabled, files are accessible under `/sharepoint`. Contact support if you need a different path..
