Overview

Use this Snap to share a driveItem with internal and external users/stakeholders allowing them to either view or edit the driveItem contents (files and folders).

Prerequisites

  • A valid application in Azure Portal with appropriate permissions.

  • A valid Microsoft OneDrive license.

  • Write access to the folder/file mentioned in the Source Relative Path/ID.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

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.
