OneDrive Client for Windows

Use personal and work or school OneDrive together in one Windows file manager - browse, transfer and back up across all of them and your other storage.

Demonstration: Connecting a OneDrive account in FTPie

OneDrive is built into Windows, which sounds convenient until you have more than one account. The built-in client is happiest with a single personal OneDrive; mixing a personal account with a work or school (Microsoft 365) account means juggling sync settings, and moving files between the two is a clumsy copy-through-Explorer affair.

FTPie treats each OneDrive as just another storage you can open. Personal and work/school accounts sit side by side in the same window, so switching between them - or moving files across them - is a drag, not a reconfiguration.

How FTPie connects to OneDrive

OneDrive is a native, built-in integration. Setup is quick:

  1. Add a new storage in FTPie and choose OneDrive.
  2. Sign in through Microsoft's consent screen - works for personal and work/school accounts.
  3. The account appears as a tile. Add your other OneDrive accounts the same way.

What you can do

  • Personal + work/school together - all your OneDrives open at once
  • Move files between accounts by dragging across panes - no download/re-upload
  • No forced local sync - browse without mirroring everything to your disk
  • Edit in place and save straight back to OneDrive
  • Unlocks Microsoft 365 everywhere - with OneDrive connected, edit documents from any connected storage in Office Online (Microsoft 365), then save them back in place
  • Scheduled backups to or from OneDrive

OneDrive next to everything else

Because OneDrive lives in the same window as your other clouds, FTP servers and NAS, you can do things the official app cannot: copy a folder from a work OneDrive to a personal Dropbox, archive an old project from OneDrive to an FTP server, or migrate out of OneDrive entirely - all by dragging between panes.

Common questions

Does it work with work/school (Microsoft 365) accounts?

Yes - both personal and work/school OneDrive accounts, and you can run them at the same time.

Will it sync everything to my PC like the built-in client?

No. FTPie streams on demand - files download only when you open or transfer them.

Do you store my Microsoft credentials?

No. Sign-in uses Microsoft's standard OAuth flow and tokens stay on your device. See the security page.

Is it free?

Cloud connections are part of FTPie Pro. The free plan covers up to 3 FTP/FTPS/SFTP connections; Pro adds the clouds, WebDAV, NAS and self-hosted, with a 14-day free trial. See the plan comparison.
