Hi @Rajkumar Purushothman

You can try letting users call the graph API to list the files uploaded under a specific folder.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive id}/root:/{folder name}:/children

Hi @Rajkumar Purushothman,

Thanks for reaching out!

Use one of the following workarounds as appropriate for your situation:

• Share individual files but not folders.
• Share a whole site collection or subsite.
• If your site doesn't require Limited-access user permission lockdown mode, deactivate this site collection feature.
