The OneDrive Upload File snap fails with 409 error, when you select replace as the Conflict behavior. The error occurs because the ID provided on a PUT or POST operation for a resource is already in use by another resource. So, when you make concurrent calls, the Snap will likely encounter a 409 error intermittently.
Workaround: Add a Retry value and validate the Pipeline.

Known Issues

Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack have an in-built retry mechanism for failing connections and requests; but, a high volume of requests from a client might reach the throttling threshold. In such scenarios, the Microsoft Graph limits further requests from that client for a period of time and returns an HTTP status code 429 (Too many requests), thereby causing the requests to fail. Hence, we recommend keeping a check on the number of requests emanating from your client instance.

N/ANewSharedLibrary
DriveString/Expression/Suggestion

Required for all Drive Type options.

Specify the name of the drive to upload a file to it. The suggestions for this field are based on the Snap account and the User or Shared Library selected.

For the Drive Type Drive, specify/pass the ID of the drive to upload a file to it, typically from the upstream Snap.

For the drive type All, select a drive from the OneDrive or a Shared Library drive.

Source Relative Path/IDString/Expression

Required for all Drive Type options.

Enter the relative path for the driveItem to upload the file to, beginning with root:/. Alternatively, pass the item ID in this field.

Info
titleRelative Path and ID
  • Any URL in this field that starts with root:/ is treated as a relative path. All other entries (without root:/ at the beginning) are treated as driveItem IDs.
  • When the driveItem ID passed is invalid (not a 34-character alphanumeric code such as 014ZXBQNNHW2DJ3CDKQZBJHRYWFWVRRQA2), the Snap returns the error - The resource is not found.
  • The Snap handles encoding of the value provided in this field; therefore, when you configure this field with a pre-encoded value, the Snap passes a re-encoded value to the API, which results in an incorrect output. We recommend you configure this field with an unencoded value.

Now, we directly pass the value in $Item field of the output to a Download File Snap to download the file. The Snap downloads the file and returns the location where the file is downloaded. In addition to this, the Snap also relays the (original) output from the previous Snap (Check In File Snap).
