One Drive Integration with LabVIEW

[Hritzgujarati]

Is there anyone who has done any type of cloud integration with LabVIEW?

I want to store my test related data on One Drive and fetch Data from One drive.

Is there any direct API available for the same?

Thank you in Advance.

One drive has individual user accounts and the user would often have that mirrored onto their local computer. Any data saved to that local mirror folder will be copied up to their One Drive. Seems the simplest way to me.

WHAAAATTT!!!!

Worst thing ever! You should create a database accessible from the cloud will be much better. VPN to a remote site... anything... but Direct access to cloud storage for test results... that is very bad design.

I hope you will not propose this solution as a production environment?

Why is that the "worst thing ever!" ?    That's a pretty emphatic statement.  You should elaborate a bit  with why that is a bad idea.  Or if you had any experiences where such a scheme gave you problems, tell us about them.

I'm not using One Drive but most other Office 365 features through our company standardized environment. And you won't believe it but there are regularly situations where Outlook can't access the 365 server in the cloud for several minutes or more and the same thing happens to other Office 365 features like Skype for business and similar. Not a critical problem as it usually clears itself up within a few minutes or sometimes a restart will help. 

But I would hate to have a measurement application generating some result files and having to program around the possibility that the cloud service sometimes can fail to be available.Seems much easier to just store it simply in the local cloud mirrored One Drive file location, rather than trying to create a cloud API library. Let de One Drive service bother in the background about making sure the data eventually ends up in that cloud space when it is available.

The other big question is of course how much you trust cloud services. If the data is sensitive in any way it may be not such a great idea to put it up into the cloud and therefore out of your hands.
