GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/drives/{drive-id}/root:/{path-relative-to-root}:/children
Response
If successful, this method returns the list of items in the children collection of the target item.
The children collection is composed of driveItem resources.
Note: If a collection exceeds the default page size (200 items), the @odata.nextLink property is returned in the response to indicate more items are available and provide the request URL for the next page of items.
