File upload to one drive

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to create a flow which runs daily and picks up files in a sharepoint folder and uploads them to users one drive. For example, if a file is created in the folder with metadata of a user such as his email id (in a custom column), the flow must upload that document to that users one drive for business .
I am referring documentation from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-createuploadsession?view=graph-rest-1.0
to upload file currently to my one drive in a trial tenant.
I created an Azure app

which has below permissions

Not sure if all these permission are required as i kept adding them depending on errors I got.
Anyway in my flow using http call, I can get the access token. I am then using https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive}/items/{itemId}:/{fileName}:/createUploadSession to get the upload url where {drive} is my one drive id, {itemId} is the onedrive folder id and {fileName} is the name of the file with extension.
After that I am using the upload url in the put request as follows but it fails and in the result of the put request, I can see

{
"error": {
"code": "unauthenticated",
"message": "Unauthenticated"
}
}

What is wrong? I am trying to upload the entire file in a single go and not divide it into multiple fragments.

Hi @Sanju Varghese ,

Use https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites and https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives are the same, it doesn't matter.

Per my knowledge, the error "Content Range header is missing or malformed" means that the value of Content Range is incorrect. It could be that the file size in bytes in Content Range header doesnot math the file content size in body. It seems that when using get file content action in flow, the size of the file content is different from the file size.

If you want to copy files from sharepoint folder to users' onedrive, you could just use the copy files action directly. It's much easier to achieve. As the below picture shows:
