Troubleshooting

​
Common Issues

Authentication Errors
  • Ensure your Microsoft account has the necessary permissions for file access (e.g., Files.Read, Files.ReadWrite).
  • Verify that the OAuth connection includes all required scopes.
File Upload Issues
  • Ensure file_name and content are provided for file uploads.
  • Content must be Base64 encoded for binary files.
  • Check that you have write permissions to OneDrive.
File/Folder ID Issues
  • Double-check item IDs for correctness when accessing specific files or folders.
  • Item IDs are returned by other operations like list_files or search_files.
  • Ensure the referenced items exist and are accessible.
Search and Filter Operations
  • Use appropriate search terms for search_files operations.
  • For filter parameters, use proper OData syntax.
File Operations (Copy/Move)
  • For move_item, ensure both item_id and parent_id are provided.
  • For copy_item, only item_id is required; parent_id defaults to root if not specified.
  • Verify that destination folders exist and are accessible.
Sharing Link Creation
  • Ensure the item exists before creating sharing links.
  • Choose appropriate type and scope based on your sharing requirements.
  • anonymous scope allows access without sign-in; organization requires organizational account.
