The plugin uses Microsoft Graph API for the following purposes: – Authenticating with SharePoint and OneDrive accounts (via OAuth 2.0). – Fetching documents and folders from SharePoint/OneDrive libraries. – Generating secure preview links and download URLs. – Managing access tokens locally to maintain integration. What Data Is Sent and When During authentication (one-time setup by the site admin): The plugin sends the Client ID, Client Secret (if applicable), and Redirect URI to Microsoft Servers. These are values configured by the site owner in the Azure portal. The authorization code is exchanged for an access token, which is stored locally. When users browse or embed SharePoint/OneDrive content: The plugin sends requests to Microsoft Graph for metadata (e.g., document/folder names, paths, IDs) to generate preview/download links. No user credentials, personal information, or business data is collected, transmitted, or stored by miniOrange at any point. All communication occurs directly between your WordPress site and Microsoft Graph API servers.

By default WordPress doesn’t overwrite an existing file if you upload a new one with the same name and directory. Instead, it appends a number to the end of the filename in order to make it unique, e.g., filename.jpg becomes filename1.jpg. That isn’t always the desired behavior, so this plugin makes it so that any files uploaded will automatically overwrite existing files in the same folder, rather than creating a second file with a unique name. It will not overwrite files in other folders. After activating the plugin, you won’t need to do anything else, it’ll start working automatically.
