I want to know, can I access another oneDrive user profile or not using APIs with the same access token?

If yes so how can I achieve this by using Microsoft APIs?

    Hi @Rajan Radhe

    If you are looking to access other users drive in your tenant using Microsoft Graph API, you can use this GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}/drive Graph API endpoint.
    If you are using **client_credentials flow **you need these Permissions (from least to most privileged) Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All.

    If you are using Authorization_code(delegated Permission), users OneDrive is needed to be shared with you which can be done by Global Admin (Admin Center->Active Users->User->OneDrive->Get access to file) or User can share his drive from Site Collection Administrators as shown below screenshot: Untitled11111

    Please provide the required permission and use the Graph API.

    Hope this helps.
