Share via

Unable to access file shared with me via Graph API

A file has been shared with me from another organisation, I can view this via the endpoint /drive/sharedWithMe?allowexternal=true
However, when I try to load the file via /drives/{drive_id}/items/{item_id}/content, I receive the following error:

Error: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/drives/{drive_id}/items/{item_id}/content | Error Message: Item not found

Is there a workaround for this error?

    You must be trying to access the item from your drive-id. Try using the details in the remoteItem in the sharedWithMe response. The sharedWithMe Docs explains how to use the remote item. You endpoint should be GET /drives/{remoteItem-driveId}/items/{remoteItem-id}/content

    Hi Danstan,

    I have a similar problem. I'm calling the sharedWithMe with allowexternal=true and I get a perfect list of items. All with a "remoteItem" (record is at the bottom of my post).

    The GET call works fine for the sending user (in this case "stephan@pipetrend.io"):

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/b!WWpg2iE5G0eg5c8n4pIe1AH4UNNPmuNHmXLHxQW2L9QS2KywdKQ5RKdYB_W_3fIz/items/01DG3P2BK7YAAQCKHOKZGKDIOYWHPYQKM7

    But when I run this GET as the invited external user (in this case "stephan@airrange.io") I get an "invalidRequest" error.

    I've used both id's... the id from parentReference... and the "driveItemId".

    Can you please help

    Thanks
    Stephan
