What is oneindex?

Oneindex turns your Microsoft OneDrive storage into a public file directory that anyone can browse in a web browser. Instead of sharing individual file links, you get a hosted-looking website where visitors can navigate your folders, preview images, watch videos, listen to audio, and download files directly. The key benefit: none of this traffic or storage counts against your web server, because files are served straight from OneDrive. The tool works by connecting to your OneDrive account and listing its contents as a web page. When someone clicks a file, they get a direct download link that pulls from OneDrive's servers, not yours. It includes an admin panel where you can manage settings, and it supports handy features like folder passwords, custom header and footer notes using markdown files, and the ability to display an index.html page directly instead of a file listing. This is useful for anyone who wants to share a large collection of files publicly without paying for web hosting or storage. For example, a teacher could share course materials with students, a photographer could showcase a portfolio of images, or a small team could distribute video files to clients. It supports personal, business, and school OneDrive accounts, so it works with whatever Microsoft account you already have. The project is built in PHP and requires version 5.6 or higher. It includes optional scheduled tasks to refresh authentication tokens and cache, which keeps the site fast and avoids rate-limiting issues from too many OneDrive API requests. There is also a command-line tool for uploading files and folders directly, which could appeal to anyone comfortable with a terminal, though the web interface handles most everyday needs. The changelog shows active development through 2018, with features like image thumbnails, code file previews, and responsive mobile design added over time.
