1. Go to Integration Settings

  • Open your clients entity you wanted to integrate in Tofu.

  • Once entity selected, click the Settings icon (top right corner).

  • Choose Integrations from the menu on the left.


2. Sign in to Your Microsoft Account

  • In a new browser tab, log in to your Microsoft account.

  • This keeps things smooth so you don’t get asked to sign in again later.


3. Choose SharePoint

  • Back in Tofu, click Integration > SharePoint.

  • A window will open—make sure you're logged into Microsoft first.


4. Pick Your SharePoint Site & Library

  • Confirm you have access to the right SharePoint site (ask your admin if needed).

  • Decide which document library you’ll use to store uploaded files.


5. Set a Folder for Uploads

  • Choose a folder in the library where documents will be uploaded.

  • This is your main folder for all file uploads.


6. Activate the Integration

  • Map the SharePoint library and folder path (note: the path is case-sensitive).

  • Click to activate the integration.

NOTE: You can also click on “Learn more about glob patterns” to better understand how the folder path works and how to use the right format.


7. Upload Documents

  • Just drop your files into the mapped SharePoint folder.

  • The integration will automatically detect new documents.

  • You can also include subfolders!

Example

What it does

Tofu Demo/FY 2025

Uploads files from that exact folder FY 2025 only

Tofu Demo/FY 2025/*

Uploads files from the Sub-folders of FY 2025

Tofu Demo/FY 2025/**

Upload files from FY 2025 and its subfolders

OneDrive Sync with SharePoint Integration

Whenever a new file is added to SharePoint, it’s automatically fetched into Tofu. Now, if your SharePoint folder is synced with OneDrive and you add new files to OneDrive, these files will also sync to SharePoint. As a result, Tofu will automatically fetch these files as well.

OneDrive Desktop Sync Toggle

We’ve introduced a new toggle "Enable OneDrive Desktop Sync" to give you control over the sync process:

  • Toggle OFF: If the toggle is disabled, new files uploaded to SharePoint will sync immediately to Tofu without delay.

  • Toggle ON: When the OneDrive Desktop Sync is enabled, we will not immediately sync files from SharePoint to Tofu. Instead, we will scan for new files every few minutes (up to 30 minutes).

⚠️ Important: OneDrive Desktop Sync Toggle is currently in early testing. You must enable it manually from your organization settings before you can use it.

To turn the OneDrive desktop sync toggle on:

  • Open Tofu Settings

    • Navigate to your Tofu account and go to the Settings icon.

  • Go to Integrations

    • Within the settings menu, locate and click on Integrations.

  • Enable SharePoint Integration

    • Under the integrations section, find and click SharePoint.

    • Enable the OneDrive Desktop Sync option.

  • Upload Files to OneDrive

    • Upload the desired files to your OneDrive account.

  • Sync Files in SharePoint

    • Go to your SharePoint folder where you want to sync the files.

    • Click the Sync button.

    • Your files from OneDrive should now appear in the SharePoint folder.

  • Files now successfully uploaded to Tofu
