How to Link Multiple OneDrive Accounts to your iPad / iPhone and Copy Files Between Accounts

Follow our simple guide linking multiple OneDrive Accounts using your iPad / iPhone and transfer files between your accounts:

Link your OneDrive Accounts

Link one or more OneDrive accounts to FileBrowser Professional on your iPad or iPhone. Tap the "Add Location" from FileBrowser's home screen and add a OneDrive location, name it and tap "Save".

Now tap the new OneDrive location on FileBrowser's home screen to link your account.

Enter your OneDrive login credentials to connect. You will also be asked to grant FileBrowser Professional access to your OneDrive. FileBrowser will only access folders that you choose to browse into.

Repeat these steps to add as many OneDrive user accounts as you need.

Select and Copy your Files

Browse a OneDrive folder.
Simply tap “Select” in the top right corner and check the files of folders you want, then tap “Copy” or “Move”.

Paste your Files into another OneDrive Account

Browse to your other OneDrive account and navigate to the folder you want to copy the documents to.

Simply tap “Paste X files here” in the top right corner.

Optionally: if you have the two locations open in separate tabs or windows, you can just drag and drop the files between them.
