How to Patch Update OneDrive file's lastAccessedDateTime

Question

I would like to update an item's "lastAccessedDateTime" to current time
such that subsequent call to /recent will reflect that the file was recently accessed.

via the explorer:
I first send this query to Patch metadata
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/items/{driveItem-id}
(fill in drive-id + driveItm-id as appropriate)
with this request body (change timestamp to current time as appropriate)

   {  
       "fileSystemInfo": {  
           "lastAccessedDateTime": "2022-12-06T18:55:21.424Z",  
           "lastModifiedDateTime": "2022-12-06T18:55:21.424Z"  
       }  
   }  

Then on my subsequent call to
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/recent
I am expecting that item's "lastAccessedDateTime" to be updated, however it is not.

Any idea what I am missing here?
Thanks

Relevant docs that I have reviewed:

• DriveItem
• FileSystemInfo
• Recent Files

Answer 1

Hi @cj256 ,

Thanks for reaching out.

As per the documentation, the property lastAccessedDateTime of fileSystemInfo is not available for items in SharePoint online or OneDrive for Business. So, we can't update this property using Graph API.

Hope this helps.
