What is the REST API call to anonymously upload to a publicly shared folder on OneDrive?
I have tried sharing a folder both thru the OneDrive Web UI creating a link attributed with: "Anyone with this link can edit this item", and using the REST API:
POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{driveId}/items/{sharedFolderId}/createLink
Content-type: application/json
{
"type": "edit",
"scope": "anonymous"
}
In both cases, I can read from the shared folder without logging on by
GET https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/items/{sharedFolderId}
I can also read the permission itself using
GET https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/items/{sharedFolderId}/permissions
=>
{
"@odata.context":"https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/$metadata#shares('{shareId}')/items('{sharedFolderId')/permissions",
"value":
[
{
"id":"{permissionId}",
"link":
{
"application":
{
"displayName":"{my own app}",
"id":"{short app id}"
},
"type":"edit",
"webUrl":"https://1drv.ms/u/{shareId}"
},
"roles":["write"],
"shareId":"{shareId}",
"expirationDateTime":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"hasPassword":false
}
]
}
However trying to upload a file or create a subfolder, i.e.
PUT https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/driveItem:/{filename}:/content
Content-type: text/plain
some text goes here
or
POST https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/{shareId}/items/{sharedFolderId}/children
Content-type: application/json
{
"name": "TestFolder",
"folder": { }
}
both fail as unauthorized calls - but isn't the whole point of an "edit" link with "anonymous" scope that "anyone with this link can edit this item"?
I have tried various combinations of https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0
instead of https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0
and /drives/{driveId}
instead of /shares/{shareId}
as well as /shares/{shareToken}
, where shareToken
is the "u!"-encoding of the webUrl
from the link
in the permission.
So far without being able to figure out the right REST API call. I hope someone is able to help :-)
You can download my TestOneDrive Visual Studio test project to reproduce the issues. It also contains initialization code to create and share the folder.
