The page's title should always be the Snap's name.  For example, File Reader. 

Overview

Use this Snap to retrieve the list of driveItems (files and folders) inside the selected OneDrive or Shared Library (document library) location.

Provide a functional overview of the Snap. Do not mention anything about the Snap's internal technology or techniques. The user should be able to understand what the Snap. Include a screenshot of a well-configured Snap 600px.  

Prerequisites

List all prerequisites for using the Snap as a bullet list. Use direct sentences. For example, in case of a Write-type Snap a prerequisite would be that the user must have write access. Include links to external official documentation, if required. Use "None." if there no prerequisites. 

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Limitations

None.

List all Snap-specific limitations as a bullet list. Limitations can be imposed by the Snap's development environment and also by the endpoint's API. List both. Use direct sentences. Include links to external official documentation, if required. Use "None.: if there are no limitations.  

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.

Snap Input and Output

Type of view: Document/Binary/Both. Get number of views from the Views tab in the Snap. List at least three compatible Snaps in each category. Provide a brief of the input/output required. If the input/output is optional then preface the description with "Optional." For example, "Transaction data complying with the Orderful schema as a JSON document."

UserString/Expression/Suggestion

Required for Drive Type options - OneDrive and All. Not needed for Drive and documentLibrary.

Select a user from the suggested list of users to retrieve the list of sub-folders and files from that user's OneDrive location.

The list of users displayed varies based on your access to their OneDrive locations. This option is meant for administrator users who are authorized to manage other users' drives, as well.

Shared LibraryString/Expression/Suggestion

Required for Drive Type option - documentLibrary. Not needed for OneDrive, Drive, and All.

Select a Shared Library from the suggested list of libraries to retrieve the list of sub-folders and files from that library location.

The list of shared libraries displayed varies based on your access to them. This option is meant for users who have write access on both the source and target shared libraries.


N/ANewSharedLibrary
DriveString/Expression/Suggestion

Required for all Drive Type options.

Specify the name of the drive to retrieve the list of sub-folders and files in a location inside the drive. 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 retrieve the list of sub-folders and files in it, typically from the upstream Snap.

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

Specify the Source Relative Path/ID of the driveItem, next.

N/AOneDrive
Source Relative Path/IDString/Expression

Required for all Drive Type options.

Enter the relative path for the driveItem, beginning with root:/to retrieve the list of sub-folders and files in itAlternatively, pass the item ID in this field.

  • Any URL in this field that starts with root:/ is treated as 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.


root://Pictures/Tour1/
Select FieldsString/Expression

Enter the list of different parameters, separated by a comma, that you want to retrieve for each child item in the selected driveItem.

The Snap returns all the available information on the selected driveItem, if this field is left blank.

Number Of RetriesString/ExpressionSpecify an integer value to set the maximum number of reconnection attempts that the Snap must perform, in case of connection failure or timeout.03
Retry Interval (Seconds)String/ExpressionEnter, in seconds, the duration for which the Snap must wait between two reconnection attempts, until the number of retries is reached.12
Snap ExecutionDrop-down list

Select one of the three following modes in which the Snap executes:

  • Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation, then performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps downstream from it.

Validate & ExecuteExecute only

Troubleshooting

Examples

Working with Drives and Drive Items using this Snap Pack

This Pipeline demonstrates how you can retrieve information about drives, driveItems and a recursive list of children items under a given driveItem. It assumes that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts already. The Pipeline uses the following parameters. 

We start with the Get Drive Snap to collect information about a particular drive followed by a Get Drive Item Snap to get the details of one of these driveItems. 

Get Drive Snap

Output

We pass the Drive ID to this Snap to gather the relative path/ID of the driveItem we want to view the details of.

Get Drive Item

Snap

We, then, use a Mapper Snap to capture the Drive ID of these driveItems and pass it to the Get Children Snap to retrieve the recursive list of all children items under the relative path/ID provided.

Get Children Snap

Output

Download this Pipeline
