OneDrive Excel File Metadata (data modified)

How can I get the date an Excel file was last modified with a OneDrive connection? It is easy to do with a local file, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work with a OneDrive file.

Use the SharePoint Folder connector. OneDrive is just a personal sharepoint site.

  1. To get the URL, go to your Office 365 home and click on OneDrive
  2. get your URL, it will look something like this:
    1. https://tenantnamecom-my.sharepoint.com/personal/firstname_lastname_tenantname_com/_layouts/15/onedr...
    2. Get rid of the layouts and later, so it becomes this:
    3. https://tenantnamecom-my.sharepoint.com/personal/firstname_lastname_tenantname_com/
  3. Paste that into the SharePoint folder connector
  4. Log in

You will now have a standard file directory listing with the metadata you need.
