SharePoint Graph API - access subfolders not under default Shared Documents folder for a site

Question

SharePoint Graph API - access subfolders not under default Shared Documents folder for a site

Patil, Vinod V 50

We are able to access the folders/subfolders under the default "Shared Documents" folder for a site using below sites URI https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/site_id/drive/root/children https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/site_id/drive/root:/folder_name.

But there are few sites for which we have folders at the same level as "Shared Documents" which we are not able to access using sites URIs. Could you please suggest any way to access those?

e.g.

https://xyzabc.sharepoint.com/sites/globalfin/Shared%20Documents -- we could access https://xyzabc.sharepoint.com/sites/globalfin/Fixed%20Asset%20Reports -- we could not access these, how can we accessed these?

Whether Fixed Asset Reports is a custom document library?

Here are steps to get a folder by Graph Api.

1.Get the custom document library id.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteid}/drives

2.Get the id of folder in the document library.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{siteid}/drives/{driveid}/root/children

Thanks Emily. I am able to get the folders under non default drives and also checked subsites.

Que - if we have access to parent site, then we should be able to get all subsites under it and next level of sub sub sites as well right? i am not able to see the subsites under parent, does it need separate explicit access?

e.g. Parent site - /globalfin/

accessing sites - /globalfin/ABC/Reports

Thank

Make sure you have following permissions.

And try to use following Graph Api to get all sub sites.

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/sites
