How to Find Your SharePoint URL Prefix

Locate your SharePoint and OneDrive tenant name for migration and connector configuration.

Overview

Your SharePoint URL prefix (also known as the tenant name) is essential for configuring migration connectors and various Cloudiway settings. This guide shows you how to find it for both SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business.

URL Structure

https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/...

The tenant name is the text before .sharepoint.com

SharePoint Services

To find your SharePoint URL prefix:

  1. 1
    Open the Office 365 App Launcher

    Click the grid icon in the top-left corner of any Microsoft 365 page

  2. 2
    Click SharePoint Online

    Select SharePoint from the app launcher menu

  3. 3
    Check the Browser URL

    Look at the URL in your browser's address bar

Example SharePoint URL

https://contoso.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx

In this example, the tenant name is contoso

Admin Center URL

You can also find your tenant name from the SharePoint Admin Center URL: https://tenantname-admin.sharepoint.com

OneDrive for Business

OneDrive URLs have a slightly different structure but contain the same tenant identifier:

  1. 1
    Log into Office 365

    Sign in at portal.office.com or microsoft365.com

  2. 2
    Open OneDrive

    Use the App Launcher to access your OneDrive

  3. 3
    Identify the Tenant Name

    Look for the text before -my.sharepoint.com

Example OneDrive URL

https://contoso-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user_contoso_com/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx

The tenant name is the text before "-my.sharepoint.com"

URL Examples

Here are common URL patterns and where to find the tenant name:

Service URL Pattern Tenant Name Location
SharePoint Home tenantname.sharepoint.com Before .sharepoint.com
SharePoint Admin tenantname-admin.sharepoint.com Before -admin
OneDrive tenantname-my.sharepoint.com Before -my
Team Site tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/... Before .sharepoint.com

Custom Domains

If your organization uses a custom domain, the tenant name in SharePoint URLs is still your original Microsoft 365 tenant name, not your custom domain.

Using the Tenant Name in Cloudiway

Once you've identified your tenant name, use it when configuring connectors:

  • Office 365 Connector: Enter the tenant name in the SharePoint URL prefix field
  • OneDrive Migration: The platform automatically constructs the -my.sharepoint.com URL
  • SharePoint Sites: Use the full site URL including the tenant prefix
