Number of Drives within an organisation(Active Directory)

Question

Hi @Prasad-MSFT ,

We are trying out the GET drives API :

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives

Is it possible that the API will return multiple drives for an organisation? Can a single organisation (AD) have more than one drive IDs?

Answer 1

Hello @Test Admin1

Thanks for reaching out!

As per my understanding, drive represents a user's OneDrive or a document library in SharePoint. For a licensed user resource, there is only a single drive.
Multiple drives are common when you are working with resource types other than "user". Using drive resource, you can get a user's OneDrive, Get the document library associated with a group, Get the document library for a site.

You can refer to driveType resource in API response. It describes the type of drive represented by a resource. OneDrive personal drives will return personal. OneDrive for Business will return business. SharePoint document libraries will return documentLibrary.

Refer this documentation for more details.

Hope this helps.
