Connecting Your Microsoft Account

Overview

Connecting your Microsoft account lets SyncRange use that login for:

• Microsoft Excel as an export destination (workbooks in OneDrive or SharePoint)
• Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads) as a data source

The first sign-in only connects the account. Extra Microsoft permissions are requested later, when you add an Excel file or a Bing Ads account.

How to connect

Follow these steps to connect your Microsoft account:

1. Navigate to Apps

   From your dashboard, go to the Apps section and select Microsoft.

2. Sign in with Microsoft

   Click Continue with Microsoft. You will be redirected to Microsoft to sign in with the account you want to use.

3. Grant access

   Review the requested permissions and accept. This first step only connects the account. SyncRange will ask for Excel or Bing Ads access when you set those up.

4. Confirm the connection

   After authorization, you will be returned to SyncRange. Your Microsoft account appears in Apps, and you can add Excel files or Bing Ads accounts from there.

SharePoint and admin consent

For OneDrive, user consent is usually enough. For SharePoint site browsing in work or school tenants, a Microsoft Entra admin may need to grant admin consent for SyncRange on Sites.Read.All and Team.ReadBasic.All.

Step-by-step admin instructions are in Configuring Microsoft Excel: What your Microsoft admin may need to configure.

Reconnect or disconnect

From the Microsoft Integration dashboard you can:

• Reconnect if the account shows "Needs Reconnect" or exports start failing because the sign-in expired
• Disconnect to remove the Microsoft account from SyncRange. This stops using that account for Excel and Bing Ads. Files in OneDrive or SharePoint are not deleted.

Next steps

After the account is connected, set up the pieces you need:

• Add an Excel workbook in OneDrive or SharePoint: Configuring Microsoft Excel
• Add Bing Ads accounts and create ads exports: Configuring Bing Ads
