fileStorageContainer: activate

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Activate a fileStorageContainer object.

A fileStorageContainer object is created in an inactive state, as indicated by the status property. A container must be activated within 24 hours after creation, or it will be automatically deleted. Upon activation, the value of the status property changes from inactive to active.

A fileStorageContainer can be activated by calling the activate API, or any other API that updates or modifies the fileStorageContainer or its content. For example, uploading a file to a fileStorageContainer, adding permission to a fileStorageContainer, creating a custom property on a fileStorageContainer, or updating the properties of a fileStorageContainer can activate it.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service US Government L4 US Government L5 (DOD) China operated by 21Vianet
