Before you start
- A Handyva account on a plan that includes OneDrive
- A personal or work Microsoft account with OneDrive
Steps
Start the connection
Open your handyva.com dashboard, go to Connections and choose OneDrive. Or send “connect my OneDrive” to @HandyvaBot in Telegram and tap the button it sends.
Check it's your account
Our page shows the name of the Handyva account you're connecting to. Only continue if it's yours, then tap Continue.
Sign in to Microsoft
Choose your Microsoft account and sign in.
Review and approve
Microsoft asks you to let Handyva read all files you can access. Tap Accept.
All set
You're sent back to handyva.com and Handyva confirms in Telegram that OneDrive is connected. Try asking it something straight away.
What Handyva can access
- Search and read your files (read-only)
Handyva only uses this access to do what you ask, never shares it, and always shows you messages, replies and posts before they go out.
Disconnect
In Handyva: dashboard → Connections → Disconnect, or tell the bot “disconnect my account”. On the platform: Personal accounts: account.live.com/consent/Manage → Handyva → Remove these permissions. Work accounts: myapplications.microsoft.com or your administrator.
Troubleshooting
The link says it has expired
Connect links last 15 minutes. Ask the bot again or start from the dashboard for a fresh one.
Microsoft says the app isn't verified or isn't available
Some connections are still being approved by the platform. If you see this, message /human and we'll add you to early access.
Microsoft says “Need admin approval”
Work and school accounts can require an administrator to approve apps. Forward Microsoft's request to your IT team.
Questions
Does Handyva see my password?
No. You sign in on Microsoft's own page and Microsoft gives Handyva a limited permission you can withdraw at any time.
Will Handyva send or post anything on its own?
No. Handyva always shows you the exact wording first and only sends, posts or replies after you say yes.
