# Create External Credentials for the Microsoft OneDrive Connector (Beta)

To ingest data from Microsoft OneDrive to Data 360, set up an external credential for Microsoft OneDrive.

## Before You Begin

Use the Salesforce-managed Microsoft OAuth provider to reduce the setup required for a Microsoft OneDrive connection. To use your own Microsoft OAuth application instead, configure [OAuth-based authentication for Microsoft](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_setup_oauth_microsoft.htm\&type=5) in Setup before completing these steps.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter `Named Credentials`. Then select **Named Credentials** (1).

2. On the External Credentials tab (2), click **New**.

   1. Enter a label and name for your external credential. The name can’t contain spaces. You can use underscores.

   2. For Authentication Protocol, select **OAuth 2.0**.

   3. For Authentication Flow Type, select **Browser Flow**.

   4. For Authentication Provider, select the Salesforce-managed Microsoft OAuth provider or the provider you created.

      After you authenticate, the status changes to Configured.
