I'm trying to list the shared folders in a user's OneDrive, but I'm encountering an "Invalid request" error. I followed the Microsoft Graph documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/drive-sharedwithme?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=csharp) and made the following call:
CSHARPvar sharedWithMeResponse = await client.Drives[driveId].SharedWithMe.GetAsSharedWithMeGetResponseAsync();
This call throws an exception with a 400 response, suggesting possible permission issues. I have requested the following scopes:
JSON{ "https://graph.microsoft.com/Files.ReadWrite", "https://graph.microsoft.com/Files.ReadWrite.All" }
The authentication is performed as follows:
CSHARPvar _publicClientApp = PublicClientApplicationBuilder.Create(ClientID) .WithRedirectUri($"msal{ClientID}://auth") .Build(); ... var scopes = new List<string> { "https://graph.microsoft.com/Files.ReadWrite", "https://graph.microsoft.com/Files.ReadWrite.All" }; AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = await _publicClientApp.AcquireTokenInteractive(scopes) .WithParentActivityOrWindow((Activity)activity) .ExecuteAsync(); var authenticationProvider = new BaseBearerTokenAuthenticationProvider(new TokenFromAuthResultProvider() { AuthenticationResult = authenticationResult }); var client = new GraphServiceClient(new HttpClient(), authenticationProvider); //this client is then used for the call which fails: var sharedWithMeResponse = await client.Drives[driveId].SharedWithMe.GetAsSharedWithMeGetResponseAsync();
The TokenFromAuthResultProvider class is implemented as:
CSHARPpublic class TokenFromAuthResultProvider : IAccessTokenProvider { public AuthenticationResult AuthenticationResult { get; set; } public async Task<string> GetAuthorizationTokenAsync(Uri uri, Dictionary<string, object>? additionalAuthenticationContext = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = new CancellationToken()) { return AuthenticationResult.AccessToken; } public AllowedHostsValidator AllowedHostsValidator { get; } }
This code is part of an Android app using .NET 8 (https://github.com/PhilippC/keepass2android/blob/update-onedrive-implementation/src/Kp2aBusinessLogic/Io/OneDrive2FileStorage.cs).
What am I missing, and how can I resolve this error? Thanks!

It turns out you’re using the wrong endpoint. The documentation shows that to list the items shared with a user, the API is exposed at the drive root (/drive/sharedWithMe) rather than at a specific drive (i.e. /drives/{drive-id}/sharedWithMe). In other words, using
client.Drives[driveId].SharedWithMe.GetAsSharedWithMeGetResponseAsync();
is causing an "Invalid request" error because the sharedWithMe operation isn’t defined on a drive by ID.
To match the documentation, change your call to use the drive root. For example:
CSHARPvar sharedWithMeResponse = await client.Drive.SharedWithMe .Request() .GetAsync();
This call maps to GET /drive/sharedWithMe as shown in the docs.
Make sure you also have the proper permissions (such as Files.Read or Files.ReadWrite.All) as required by the API. Your current scopes might need adjustment too, according to whether you’re targeting OneDrive personal or OneDrive for Business.
By switching to the correct endpoint, the "Invalid request" error should be resolved.

I have below file in Shared folder of my OneDrive account:
To get these details via Microsoft Graph API, I ran below API call in Graph Explorer:
HTTPGET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/sharedWithMe
Response:
To fetch the same details via c#, you need user's OneDrive ID that can be found with below API call:
HTTPGET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/
Response:
In my case, I ran below c# code that uses interactive flow to connect with Microsoft Graph and fetched shared files in response:
CSHARPusing Azure.Identity; using Microsoft.Graph; using Microsoft.Graph.Models.ODataErrors; class Program { static async Task Main(string[] args) { var tenantId = "tenantId"; var clientId = "appId"; var scopes = new[] { "https://graph.microsoft.com/Files.ReadWrite", "https://graph.microsoft.com/Files.ReadWrite.All" }; var interactiveCredential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential(new InteractiveBrowserCredentialOptions { TenantId = tenantId, ClientId = clientId, AuthorityHost = AzureAuthorityHosts.AzurePublicCloud, RedirectUri = new Uri("http://localhost") //Use your redirect URI }); var graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(interactiveCredential, scopes); var driveId = "OneDriveId"; try { var result = await graphClient.Drives[driveId].SharedWithMe.GetAsSharedWithMeGetResponseAsync(); if (result?.Value != null && result.Value.Count > 0) { foreach (var item in result.Value) { Console.WriteLine($"Name: {item.Name}"); Console.WriteLine($"ID: {item.Id}"); Console.WriteLine($"Web URL: {item.WebUrl}"); Console.WriteLine($"Last Modified: {item.LastModifiedDateTime}"); Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 40)); } } else { Console.WriteLine("No shared items found."); } } catch (ODataError odataError) { Console.WriteLine($"Error Code: {odataError.Error?.Code}"); Console.WriteLine($"Error Message: {odataError.Error?.Message}"); } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine($"Exception: {ex.Message}"); } } }
