Hello Nikhil Tambi,

Thank you for reaching out, Microsoft!

Yes, it is possible to download a file from SharePoint using the Microsoft Graph library. Here is the endpoint to achieve this:

GET 
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/$siteId/drives/$driveId/items/$itemId/content

Please ensure you provide below permissions to your application
Files.Read

Check below screenshot for reference

Hi Nikhil Tambi,

If you are having trouble getting SiteId you can use below endpoint to get SiteId
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{hostname}:/sites/{path}?$select=id

To get driveId once you have siteId use one of below endpoint

GET /groups/{groupId}/drives (To fetch the drives within a group) GET /sites/{siteId}/drives (To fetch drives for a particular site) GET /users/{userId}/drives (To fetch user's drives) GET /me/drives (To list the current user's drive)

You can list all the items of list or use $filter parameter to get specific driveItem Id

GET /sites/{siteId}/drives/driveId/root/children (To fetch all items for a particular drive) GET /sites/{siteId}/drives/driveId/items?$filter= name eq '<fileName>' (To fetch item filtered by name for a particular drive)

I hope this helps!
