I'm trying to copy a file from a drive to another using MS GRAPH SDK in C#.
I can successfuly do this by using hardcoded parentReference (DriveId & Id), because i retrieved this by getting the parentReference from an existing file in the destination drive.
"/sites/SiteId/drives/DriveId/root/children"
"parentReference": { "driveId": "b,07UG1YX6EEWI-xYElkDOj9a5a_hmu6RDt0mpVQfH3RFpCR1wxODCRpss4Xq4g75t": "driveType", "documentLibrary": "id", "01QVACJXF6Y2GOVW7725BZO354PWSELRRZ": "path": "/drives/b,07UG1YX6EEWI-xYElkDOj9a5a_hmu6RDt0mpVQfH3RFpCR1wxODCRpss4Xq4g75t/root:" },
My current code:
var parentReference = new ItemReference
{
DriveId = destination.Id, //retrieved DriveId previously
Id = "01QVACJXF6Y2GOVW7725BZO354PWSELRRZ"
};
var name = DocumentTitle + "."+ extensionTemplate;
var result = await graphClient.Sites[IdGestDoc].Drives[templateDrive.Id].Items[template.DriveItem.Id]
.Copy(name, parentReference)
.Request()
.PostAsync();
But my question is how to get this informations when there is no existing files in the drive?
I can retrieve the DriveId but not the Id for the parentReference..
Any help will be appreciated !
In fact Copy a DriveItem
endpoint expects parentReference
parameter to be:
Reference to the parent item the copy will be created in.
meaning, to copy a file into an empty drive, target drive id and root folder of this drive needs to be specified, like this:
var parentReference = new ItemReference
{
DriveId = "--target drive-id-goes-here--",
Id = "--root folder-of-drive-goes-here--"
};
var result = await graphClient.Sites[siteId].Drives[driveId].Items[itemId]
.Copy(name, parentReference)
.Request()
.PostAsync();
where drive id and its root folder id could be determined beforehand like this:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/drives/{target-drive-id}/root?select=id,parentReference
{
"id": "--root-folder-id-of-drive",
"parentReference": {
"driveId": "--drive-id--",
"driveType": "documentLibrary"
}
}
