This automation scenario allows you to connect Email and OneDrive
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Email and OneDrive can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Email
Send IFTTT any email at [email protected] and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient. This trigger will reject emails with attachments over 30MB.
Then this action happens in OneDrive
This Action will download a file at a given URL and add it to OneDrive at the path you specify. NOTE: 30 MB file size limit.

Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
