OneDrive syncs your PDFs across every Microsoft device. Combined with Flint's browser-based processing, you have a complete cross-device PDF workflow with no install.
Here's the loop.
OneDrive structure mirrors local
`/OneDrive/Archive/<year>/<category>/`, `/OneDrive/Working/<project>/`, `/OneDrive/Inbox/PDFs/`. Same three folders as your local setup, just synced.
OneDrive handles the sync; you handle the discipline. Access PDFs from your work laptop, home machine, phone, and any browser.
Process via Flint without leaving the browser
OneDrive's web interface lets you preview PDFs but not really edit them. Download to local, open in Flint, process, save back to OneDrive. About 15 seconds round-trip.
For signing in particular, Flint handles the placement, flattening and download in one pass. OneDrive holds the canonical signed copy.
Share via OneDrive links
Right-click any PDF in OneDrive, share. Set permissions (view-only, edit, time-limited). The recipient gets a link rather than an attachment — no email bounce risk, latest version always.
For external clients, set the link to expire after a defined period. Access management is part of the workflow.
Files On-Demand keeps the archive light
OneDrive's Files On-Demand keeps older files in the cloud only — they show in your folder but take no local space until opened. Useful when your archive is years deep.
Working files stay local; archives go cloud-only. The folder structure stays complete; your disk doesn't fill up.
FAQ
Does OneDrive integrate with Office PDF features?
Yes — Word and Excel can open and export PDFs, with OneDrive holding the storage. For dedicated PDF work (merge, sign, redact), browser tools like Flint are faster.
What about SharePoint?
SharePoint sits on top of OneDrive for team storage. Same workflow; the path just goes to a team library instead of personal OneDrive.
How does OneDrive handle versioning?
Version history is on by default for OneDrive files, including PDFs. Restore old versions if you accidentally overwrite. Useful safety net.
Is OneDrive secure enough for sensitive PDFs?
For most business sensitivity, yes — combined with password-protected PDFs and OneDrive's permission controls. For very high sensitivity, layer encryption on top.
OneDrive stores, Flint processes, the browser ties it together. Open the next OneDrive PDF in Flint and feel the loop click.
