Hi,

Shared with me API provides me the list of all files and folders that are shared by internal and external users.
The Shared API URL is mentioned below
https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/graph/api/drive-sharedwithme?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

But when I try to access the shared DriveItem resource of the file that has been shared by the external user bypassing DriveID and File ID into the API
/drives/{remoteItem-driveId}/items/{remoteItem-id}
The API throws an error as -
{
"error": {
"code": "itemNotFound",
"message": "Item not found",
"innerError": {
"date": "2020-10-20T12:07:39",
"request-id": "5a3b3836-fe3e-450a-837e-1b3e962ac94b",
"client-request-id": "5a3b3836-fe3e-450a-837e-1b3e962ac94b"
}
}
}

But the Same API works fine with the file shared with Internal Users.
Am I missing something here any help is greatly appreciated?

Regards,
Kuldeep K

    Hi @WMio Connectors ,
    As I test about the /drives/{remoteItem-driveId}/items/{remoteItem-id} api,when the file is shared from different tenants, the api cannot be returned successfully, and the error reported is Invalid request.

    When I use mismatched remoteItem-driveId and remoteItem-id, the operation result will report the same error as yours.

    Same problem here. I have a script that is iterating over all of my folders in root of my drive. I then make an API call to get the children of each folder. When I do this for folders that are created by me as opposed to shared with me, I get a good result. But when I do this for folders shared with me, I get (a) a response with 0 items if I search using the items 'id' as returned from my previous query listing rot folders, or (b) an erroneous response stating not found / auth issue (idr) in the case that I use 'remoteItem' 'id'.

    Hello ! I have the exact same problem with "Item not found".

    We share (with permission API) a presentation from OneDrive with a specific user. When we want to connect programmatically with this specific user and try to access the document with this route /drives/{remoteItem-driveId}/items/{remoteItem-id} It doesn't work. I have tried a lot of things but I cant figure this out. Could someone help me ?

    The problem is always "Item not found".
