Question

We need to create a folder and upload the file at the same time can it be possible. In any circumstances it is possible can you provide us with code or documentation about this? We want to create a folder and upload files in one API request.

Hi @Purvesh Tejani

I don't think this is possible via Rest API or Graph API. We have different api for create folder and upload files. The request body are different too.

When you create a folder in sharepoint via Graph, you will need to use following api and request body

POST /sites/{site-id}/drive/items/{parent-item-id}/children
{
  "name": "New Folder",
  "folder": { },
  "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior": "rename"
}

When you upload a file by Graph, you can use following api

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

Here is the document for reference

Create a new folder in a drive

Upload or replace the contents of a DriveItem
