如何使用 Graph Api 替换 Onedrive 中的文件？

Question

I have a fie that already exists in a Onedrive directory , filename is TestFile.txt

If i try to move a file with the same name to that directory it gives the error

    {"error":{"code":"nameAlreadyExists","message":"Name already exists",

I am copying the file to the destination folder as follows

I setup a Patch request to th endpoint /me/drive/items/{Id}

set the body and send the request.

        var filebody = new { parentReference = new { id = folderDestId }, name = fileName };
        request.AddJsonBody(filebody);
        var response = client.Execute(request);

But the file is not moved to the new locaion and it doesnt replace the existing file there.

Do i need to delete the file first and then move , or is there something the body I can send to make it automatically replace the file ?

When uploading your file, there is an instance attribute called " conflictBehavior " that you can set to "replace" to achieve that. Note that this is an instance attribute and should be included in the URL instead of the request body.
