Microsoft Graph Drive Filter Children Folder / File Property

Question

Hi

why does this work:

• https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root/children?$filter=folder ne null

but those three don't:

• https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root/children?$filter=file ne null
• https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root/children?$filter=file eq null
• https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root/children?$filter=folder eq null

Why do we have a OData Filters when not all properties can be used in BASIC filtering statements?

Answer 1

As far as I know, the /children endpoint does not support the $filter parameter for the time being, it currently only supports $expand, $select, $skipToken, $top and $orderby query parameters. You can check the description of the official doc.
