- Under the Content access section, locate Account mapping.
- Click Set up mapping.
- Review the mapping configuration, then click Save.
The Progress indicator will display the status of linked accounts (e.g., Progress (47/2596)).
Important notes about mapping
- Processing Time: Mapping can take a significant amount of time, depending on the number of users in your organization; please wait for the process to complete.
- Partial Mapping: Accounts will only be mapped if the Zoom user has a corresponding identity and access to the OneDrive app.
- Security of Knowledge: Zoom adheres to your existing Microsoft 365 permission structures.
How to monitor sync status
The OneDrive integration provides real-time visibility into the health of your data connection. The Status card displays:
- Status: Shows the current state of the sync (e.g., Completed, In Progress, or Failed).
- Synced items: The total count of items successfully imported from OneDrive.
- Anomalous items: A count of items that failed to sync due to errors or formatting issues.
- Last updated: A timestamp showing exactly when the last data refresh occurred.
How to disconnect OneDrive as a data source
To remove the integration from your Zoom account:
- Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
- In the navigation menu, click AI Studio then Integrations.
- In the Applications tab, click the ellipsis icon to the right of the OneDrive application

Note: Disconnecting the integration will remove Zoom's access to your content and stop all data synchronization. This action cannot be undone, but you can reconnect the integration at any time.
Data security
The OneDrive Data Source integration is designed with security as a priority:
- Respects Permissions: The integration honors OneDrive’s internal content access settings. The AI will only leverage data that it has been granted permission to access.
- Secure Data Handling: Data is handled according to enterprise-grade security standards to protect your proprietary information while enhancing AI Companion knowledge context.
