How to Create "File Request" Link in OneDrive for Business via (MS Graph or other) API?

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to generate a "file request" link of a folder in OneDrive for Business via MS Graph (or other) API?

The idea is to generate a "file request" link programmatically and send to the users and use the default "file request" UI for the users to upload their files without requiring user to have a Microsoft account to login.

I saw "create sharing link" document but there's no option to create a link for "upload only".

Thanks!

Hi Ching Lung,

Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, you cannot upload file using share endpoint (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-createlink?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http)

However, for your use case you can either try to create and app with application-level access and provide that to users to upload the files to that particular folder using the following graph API call mentioned in the link below https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-put-content?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

or would you consider filing a feature request on the M365 developer platform so this can be looked into?
