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 you to keep a check on the number of requests emanating from your client instance.
  • The OneDrive Create Folder Snap fails with a 404 error when the folder name ends with Unicode characters, such as 𝓱𝓲𝓳𝐅𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐤𝐥𝐦, 𝒚𝒛𝒜𝒳𝒴𝒵𝓆𝒚𝒛𝒜𝒳𝒴,𝗕𝗖𝘧𝘨𝘩𝛀𝛁𝛂, 見響见响仮仏. However, if the folder name contains unicode characters with the last character as a normal character, the folder is created successfully.
