This object is basically just a file path, except it additionally has an
attribute for the file origin. This is used to then be able to infer a
connection object based on the source_file object created.
source_file(path, origin = "local")File path respective to the specified origin
Origin of the file - either onedrive, sharepoint, or local
source_file object
Since file connections are eliminated and garbage collected once they're
closed, they're unreliable as persistent objects in your R session. To get
around this, m365filer creates the file connections on demand. To
preserve the automation of this, this object is created, which feeds into
get_file_connection() to return a connection object, which is then used to
interface with OneDrive or SharePoint as necessary
