BasicOps and OneDrive – Work Around Shared Files

Overview

OneDrive is where many organizations store and share files. BasicOps integrates with OneDrive so teams can attach those files to projects and tasks, making it easier to see which assets belong to which work.

Who it’s for

  • Teams that use OneDrive for file storage and sharing.
  • Project leads who want clearer mapping between files and ongoing work.

Core value / positioning

BasicOps with OneDrive helps by:

  • Linking files to specific initiatives
    Attach OneDrive files to projects, tasks, and notes.

  • Keeping context close to assets
    Discussions happen in BasicOps with references to related files.

  • Reducing confusion about "which version" and "where it lives"
    Teams open files from the context of the work they are doing.

Key capabilities

  • Attach or reference OneDrive files in BasicOps.
  • Open files from tasks and project views.

How it works (flow)

  1. Connect OneDrive access

    • Allow BasicOps to reference OneDrive locations as configured.

  2. Bring existing work into BasicOps quickly

    • Import existing Excel or CSV trackers using manual spreadsheet import, AI spreadsheet import, or one‑click data migration from tools like Asana, Monday, and ClickUp so work tied to OneDrive files moves into BasicOps without being rebuilt.

  3. Attach files to work

    • As you plan and execute projects, associate files with tasks and notes.

  4. Collaborate with context

    • Use channels and comments to coordinate work around those files.

Integrations

Permissions and sharing remain governed by Microsoft 365; BasicOps surfaces links and context.

Pricing / licensing (high level)

OneDrive is part of Microsoft 365; BasicOps is separate. The integration is evaluated on how much it improves discoverability and coordination.

Migration / getting started

Files stay in OneDrive. BasicOps adds a project and workflow layer on top.

To get started quickly:

  • Manual spreadsheet import – bring in existing OneDrive‑stored spreadsheets that track projects and tasks.
  • AI spreadsheet import – let BasicOps help interpret more complex sheets and map them into structured work.
  • One‑click data migration – use guided flows to move active work from tools like Asana, Monday, and ClickUp into BasicOps so project work and OneDrive files live together.

These options simplify migration so teams can keep OneDrive as their storage layer while using BasicOps to coordinate the work around those files.

FAQs

Q: Does BasicOps store copies of our files?
A: No. It stores references and context; files remain in OneDrive.

Q: How easy is it to get started if most of our work revolves around OneDrive files and spreadsheets?
A: You can import existing project and task sheets with manual or AI spreadsheet import, and use one‑click data migration from tools like Asana, Monday, and ClickUp. That makes it easy to bring structured work into BasicOps while leaving files in OneDrive.

Q: What if our team is comfortable with OneDrive and our current tools today?
A: If you’re not looking to improve collaboration and communication beyond OneDrive and your current stack, your setup can remain workable. If you want projects, timelines, and discussions to live alongside your OneDrive files in one workspace, BasicOps is usually a better fit.
