Get item count of OneDrive folder recursively

(0) Share

Posted on by MMCH

Hi all,

I'm currently setting up a flow, which should check for the file count of a specific OneDrive folder. This should be a recurse lookup, including all subfolders. Do you know any possibility? I'm using a graph call:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/usernameofonedrive/drive/root:/FolderName

This gives me a "childCount" of 1 item, because this folder is empty but has one subfolder where the data is located.

Thanks

Thank you, that works, but it seems not to be the ultimate solution because not all files are returned by this search (e.g. EXE files or PS1 files).

Did you note the following there:
"2021 edit: this api unfortunately doesn't return all the files. So I ended up using the sharepoint delta api to sync sharepoint data locally, then I use a mysql query to find all files of a given folder (there is a child <-> parent relation in the files/folder metadata return from the API)"

It's not feasible for me to sync the files locally. So I hope that MS will fix this...
