Get Shared Items

In this article

Overview

Use this Snap to retrieve the list of driveItems in your OneDrive or Share Library (Document Library) that are being shared (not expired shares) at a given point in time.

Prerequisites

  • A valid application in Azure Portal with appropriate permissions.
  • A valid Microsoft OneDrive license.
  • Read access to the drive.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Limitations

None.

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.

Retrieving the list of Shared Items from your OneDrive/Shared Library

This Pipeline demonstrates how you can get the list of items you have shared with other users. It assumes that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts already. The Pipeline uses the following parameters. 

We configure the Get Shared Items Snap to get the list of items in one of your Drive (OneDrive or Shared Library), that you shared with your fellow users. You can select the fields you want to display in the results (output of this Snap).

Output

For this Snap, we also define an error view to handle error scenarios and merge the error records with the Snap's output using a Union Snap. To filter the fields in the output to suit our needs, we can connect a Mapper Snap and define the fields accordingly.

Fixed the following issues with OneDrive Snaps:

  • The Snaps erroneously displayed the permission error when the actual cause was an empty display name in the API.

  • The Snaps failed with a 403 error when selecting a user (in the User field) from the Suggestions list without the User.Read.All permission. Now you can enter the value manually in the User field and proceed with the specific operation you want to perform in OneDrive, even if the Suggestions list is not available.
