Hi @Patil, Vinod V

To upload file in SharePoint folder, use this Graph API endpoint.

PUT /sites/{site-id}/drive/items/{parent-id}:/{filename}:/content

Please refer to this documentation for more details.
To upload bigger file please follow this documentation.

To download file from SharePoint, use this Graph API endpoint.
GET /sites/{siteId}/drive/root/children

The above endpoint will give you all files in your sites drive. Use the id of the file which you want to download.

GET /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{item-id}

The above endpoint will give you download URL which you can use to download that file.
Also, you can use GET /sites/{siteId}/drive/items/{item-id}/content endpoint to get the raw content of file.
Please refer to this documentation for more details

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dhiman, Tong.

I am able to upload a file to sharepoint using PUT but it doesn't show the file in the folder on sharepoint. When I use POST using COPY uri and create another copy of the file, it shows that copy in the folder but not the original created. What could be the issue?

Thanks.
