How to import file contents from file on Onedrive

I’m migrating from Google Drive to MS Onedrive.  I can’t seem to find the OneDrive zap app to upload a file’s contents similar to the “Get Document Content” in the Google Docs app.  I tried the “Find File” action event in the OneDrive app;  although I can find the file via the search process (I tried the “Find File by ID” action as well, but I can’t figure out how to find the OneDrive file’s ID; another post, I suppose).  Once found, I don’t see a result field I can use that has the file contents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ​@promctllc 

There is no current equivalent for OneDrive.

You’d have to explore using the OneDrive API: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/getting-started/?view=odsp-graph-online

Zap action: OneDrive - API Request

 

TIP: Try asking ChatGPT for help configuring the API request.

Bummer.  Thanks for responding, Troy.  I’m not overly technical or a programmer, so I’m reluctant to explore the API route.
