Hi!
A client send me a secured link to a shared folder and I need to upload files there daily.
I registered an app in Azure, as docs say, but where to go from there? To see that shared folder I use my email and a code sent to it, not a email-password combo, so I'm not sure if I will be able to give access to it to my app?
Also I don't know what's their drive id or folder id to use in the file upload endpoint, all I see in the shared url is their domain name and folder name.
Someone help pls :)

2021-03-16T08:53:49.407+00:00 hi! thanks for replying!
no, I'm stuck at getting an access token to use any endpoints
I understand I should allow my app to use some user, but folder is shared to with work email which is not a real user and app is created with my personal email, should I ask them to share the folder with my personal email too? -

2021-03-16T10:16:48.907+00:00 I would suggest you first try to login through Graph Explorer with the account to which the file has been shared and try to access the file. Graph Explorer helps you get started with Graph without needing to get the access token.

2021-03-16T10:36:52.167+00:00 I don't have a microsoft account on the email the folder was shared to, it's a work email, I just enter the email and receive a confirmation code to see the shared folder...

2021-03-17T06:44:22.31+00:00 MS Graph will grant access to resources upon authentication with Azure AD based on some given permissions. See the permissions guide. You must have either a work/school account that is AAD managed or a personal Microsoft account to use Graph. You can try to get the client to invite you as a Guest in their tenant with limited access to only the resources you need to interact with.
