Remarks

To address a driveItem from an itemReference resource, construct a URL of the format:

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{driveId}/items/{id}

The path value is an API path relative to the target drive, for example: /drive/root:/Documents/myfile.docx.

To retrieve the human-readable path for a breadcrumb, you can safely ignore everything up to the first : in the path string.
