You cannot use $filter with /drives, only $select, as documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/drive-get?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http#optional-query-parameters

When testing the Microsoft graph API (via the Microsoft Graph Explorer) I noticed the following.
- Fetch All Users (Works Fine) - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users
- Fetch Users with Name Adele (Works Fine) - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=givenName eq 'Adele'
- Fetch all Drives (Works Fine) - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives
- Fetch details of Drive Documents (Fails, instead fetches all drives) - https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives?$filter=name eq 'Documents'
So it seems that the $filter does not work against the Drives endpoint ? Is this a defect ?
We really require this feature to develop my application.

2020-08-10T23:47:43.683+00:00 Hi Michev,
Yes, that is strange because most of the other endpoints support filter endpoints (like Users, Children/Elements within a Drive).
Ex:
In my case, I need to fetch the DriveId based on an end-user provided list of Drive Display Names.
Since this seems to be a limitation how can I report this?

Best way to "report" this is to post on UserVoice: https://microsoftgraph.uservoice.com/forums/920506-microsoft-graph-feature-requests

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drive/root/children?$filter=name eq 'moment.min.js'-

2020-08-10T23:47:31.407+00:00 Hi Amos,
That endpoint returns the children of the default SharePoint library/drive. I use that at the later stage of my program. But in this case, I need to fetch the DriveId based on an end-user provided list of Drive Display Names (in this case the drives are Sharepoint Libraries)
Thanks
