Posted on by aleksvp

I'm trying to access my OneDrive (https://onedrive.live.com/about/pt-br/signin/) using Power Automate Desktop.

I created an action to open the browser in the url https://onedrive.live.com/about/pt-br/signin/.

When I try to fill the form, Power Automate does not recognize the login field (the red rectangle does not shows up). I have the plugin instaled, I've tried all the browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox). In other pages works fine.

Is there any restriction here?

First image shows that it works in other pages.

Second shows it does not work on OneDrive login. Sem título.png Sem título (1).png

Hi @aleksvp

The Login screen is secured from being "spyed" via bots and therefore they wont be detected and added as an UI element.

PAD is not yet designed to be directly connected to Cloud applications like OneDrive. MSFT is releasing connectors to help achieve the same via PAD, but OneDrive is not yet on the list (only Sharepoint available as of now).

The options in front of you are:

1. Use Power Automate Cloud Flows which has a readymade connector for OneDrive

or

2. Look for a OneDrive API and call it from Invoke Web Service of PAD.

or

3. Have a locally mapped folder for the OneDrive and then access that local folder from PAD.
