to create a folder in the drive.

I have a registered app with following Admin Granted permissions :

App Permissions

When executing getting the issue:

Invalid Request. Microsoft.Graph.Models.ODataErrors.ODataError: One of the provided arguments is not acceptable.

Hello @Ramana Reddy Chamakura ,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support.

I have successfully implemented the example from the documentation using Postman and received the response. However, you mentioned that you are using application permissions, while the documentation's example can only be implemented with delegated permissions. Please replace '/me' with '/users/{user-id}' and refer to the screenshot below.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply.

But I was executing the below C# example code: bookmarked URL:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-post-children?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=csharp#request

        try
        {
            DriveItem requestBody = new()
            {
                Name = "Demo_Name",
                Folder = new() { },
                AdditionalData = new Dictionary<string, object>
                {
                    { "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior" , "rename" },
                },
            };
            return await GetGraphClient(accessParams)
                .Drives["{drive-id}"]
                .Items["{driveItem-id}"]
                .Children.PostAsync(requestBody, cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
        }
        catch (Microsoft.Graph.Models.ODataErrors.ODataError me)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(me.Error?.Code);
            throw;
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw;
        }

GetGraphClient code below

private static GraphServiceClient GetGraphClient(AccessParameters accessParams)
{
    // Values from app registration
    string clientId = accessParams.ClientId;
    string tenantId = accessParams.TenantId;
    string clientSecret = accessParams.ClientSecret;
    // using Azure.Identity;
    ClientSecretCredentialOptions options = new()
    {
        AuthorityHost = AzureAuthorityHosts.AzurePublicCloud,
    };
    // https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.identity.clientsecretcredential
    ClientSecretCredential clientSecretCredential = new(tenantId, clientId, clientSecret, options);
    return new GraphServiceClient(clientSecretCredential, scopes);
}

I'm getting issue with the mentioned code.

I have the same problem and I use the same code for creating a sub folder in a SharePoint library, but I receive only the 400-Invalid Request error. I can read everything in the library, but I can't create a new folder. Is there a solution for this issue.
