How to update media in a driveItem in sharepoint using graph api

Question

Hello,

I'm currently working on updating a driveItem in SharePoint using the Microsoft Graph API. While I've been successful in updating fields like name and title, I'm now looking to update the actual media content itself using the API.

For instance, if a user edits a Word document within my application, I need to reflect those changes in the linked SharePoint driveItem. What would be the recommended approach to achieve this?

I've referred to the documentation here, but I couldn't find specific guidance on updating the media content of a driveItem.

Any insights or suggestions on how to accomplish this task using the Microsoft Graph API would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @Arnav Lala,

We are unable to update the data in file by graph directly. You could use ByteArrayInputStream in java to edit the content of the file. Please refer to the following issue simialr with yours
