Microsoft Graph

Question

Microsoft Graph

Anonymous

We are writing an application that uses Microsoft Graph to query files stored on dropbox. The problem we are having is that while querying the root of the drive with a url such as "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root/Search(q='testquery')" will return all the files we would expect, if we narrow the search by directory path, ie. "https.../drive/root:/FolderA/FolderB:/Search(q='testquery')" we cannot recover files with certain extensions, like .bin, or with no extensions at all. Even if we further parameterize the query with the 'filetype:.bin' modifier we do not get the results we expect. We read through the graph search api docs and kql syntax and cannot find an explanation.

anonymous user, Thank you for reaching out and I apologize for the delay in my response, as it took me some time to get you an answer. From the issue description shared by you, it looks like the issue is with OneDrive api and not with graph API as here Graph is just acting as an aggregator and just forwarding the request to the correct resource as per the request from the user.
Now, for this issue, someone with expertise on the OnDrive part is required and hence would request you to reach out to the Support team of Microsoft to a quicker resolution on this. Do let me know if you can create a support case on your end if not then do drop us an email on azcommunity[at]microsoft[dot]com with the following details:

Tenant Name/Tenant ID:

Azure Subscription ID:

This thread's URL

Do drop an email there and I will try my best to get you connected to a support person from OnDrive side to help you further.

anonymous user, I apologize for my ignorance on this. but anyhow the issue is on the DropBox side then and not with the Graph API as described above. Hence to get to the bottom of this to understand why this failure, someone from that team needs to investigate this and it can be done through a support case.

Do share the details with us on email as described above, so that I can get a one time free case for you to help you further.

The problem may involve one drive but we are having the same problem using the graph API to search for files in our default

Share-point drive. We tested the searches using the Microsoft Graph Explorer tool at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-

us/graph/graph-explorer to insure the problem isn't in our libraries.
