Keep track of your OneDrive files anywhere, using Glances

Microsoft OneDrive puts powerful cloud storage in your hands, helping you save your photos and files with access to them from any device, anywhere. When you connect Glances with OneDrive, you can simplify your workday with the ability to instantly look up your folders and files from the platform while working anywhere online.

Whether you rely on other business apps like Salesforce, QuickBooks, or Monday.com as part of your SaaS stack, Glances empowers you with a single view of your customer insights and personal tasks across multiple apps, in real time. Working on any webpage you visit or within any app you use, Glances helps you and your team eliminate roadblocks and get back to The simplest way to work™.

Available OneDrive views (we call these Glances)

When OneDrive is connected with Glances, you can search and view your OneDrive folders and files within any web app or platform you prefer to work in. Simply search by file name (as little or as much as you can recall) in the Glances Search tab, or use Glances Search and Highlight feature to auto-search. From there, Glances will pull up all stored OneDrive folders and files that match your search terms, then you can click on the correct file name to open it.

Below is the current list of Glances available for Microsoft OneDrive. Need to see a specific view or data set? Contact our team to discuss custom options for your business.
