  • Rename and move it to your target location using the Move Item Snap.

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 Snap copies the item to the root folder when you provide invalid Target Relative Path/ID (without root:/). However, the Snap works as expected (throws an exception) when you provide an invalid Target Relative Path/ID that begins with root:/. We recommend that you ensure that the Target Relative Path/ID always resolves to a valid folder.
