Hi @Khushboo Kumari

Here is an example of the request to create a new folder in the signed-in user's OneDrive root folder.

POST /me/drive/root/children
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "New Folder",
  "folder": { },
  "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "rename"
}

After the creation is successful, the id and webURL of the newly created folder will be returned in the response body.

Or you can also get the webURL based on the id of the folder:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/items/{folder id}?$select=id,name,webURL

Hope this helps.

To create a folder and store data in this location using the Microsoft Graph API, you can use the POST /me/drive/root/children endpoint. This endpoint allows you to create a new folder in the signed-in user's OneDrive root folder. The @microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior property used indicates that if an item already exists with the same name, the service should choose a new name for the folder while creating it.

Example Request:

POST /me/drive/root/children
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "name": "New Folder",
    "folder": { },
    "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "rename"
}

If successful, this method returns the newly created folder as a DriveItem resource.
