Share Folder via API

Question

We have done the SharePoint Integration using MSGraph API. Now, We have to share a particular folder to specific user through an API.

Do we have an API to share the particular folder?

Hi @Akshith Reddy Thalla,

To share a folder, you can use the POST /drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/invite endpoint, where {drive-id} is the ID of the drive where the folder is located, and {item-id} is the ID of the folder you want to share. To get {drive-id} and {item-id}, you can take a reference to this article: How to Find Site Id, Drive Id and Item Id using Microsoft Graph API.

Reference: Send a sharing invitation.

For example,

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/b!fIIel_ckvEGuCEQKxsYKyUPocDuiXE5PpCID5WtvTNY2aGNaWsxbQ5_grpudLNED/items/0144RNNBG2JCXTFGLWHRFYFQ6XRSSVMCXM/invite


{
    "recipients": [
        {
            "email": "user@xxx.onmicrosoft.com"
        }
    ],
    "message": "Here's the file that we're collaborating on.",
    "requireSignIn": true,
    "sendInvitation": true,
    "roles": [
        "write"
    ],
    "password": "password123"
}
