OneDrive Uploader

English | 中文简体

A simple desktop GUI application for uploading files and folders to OneDrive for Business on macOS, with resume support.

Built with Python and PyQt.

🚀 Features

• Upload files and folders to OneDrive for Business
• Resume support — continue from the last interrupted upload
• Lightweight and minimal GUI
• No command line required
• Tested on macOS 26 Tahoe (Apple Silicon)

🔒 Permissions & Privacy

When you sign in to OneDrive for Business for the first time, the app will request three permissions:

Permission	Purpose
Access all files you can access in OneDrive (Files.ReadWrite.All)	Required for uploading, resuming, and managing your own files in OneDrive.
Maintain access to data granted to OneDriveUploader (offline_access)	Allows the app to keep your login active without re-authenticating every time.
View your basic profile (User.Read)	Identifies your account (name, email) so the app can store your login session securely.

These are the minimal Microsoft Graph permissions required to implement resumable file uploads.

All permissions are granted through Microsoft's official login flow; the app itself never handles your credentials directly.

The app never uploads, stores, or shares your data with any external service other than Microsoft OneDrive.

📦 Installation

1. Download the latest .dmg package from Releases.
2. Open the .dmg file — drag OneDriveUploader.app into the Applications folder.
3. Launch OneDriveUploader.app.
4. Click Add Account, follow the Microsoft login to authorize your OneDrive for Business account.
5. After authorization, select files or folders and start uploading. Uploads run in the background and can be resumed automatically if interrupted.

⚠️ macOS may warn that the app is from an unidentified developer.

To open it, right-click (or Control-click) → “Open” → then confirm.
