How do I download items inside a folder shared with me?

[estevanmendes]

I am trying to find a folder by its path, but I am not finding. I think it's because I am not the owner of the files, it was only shared with me. Although, when I search for the name of the folder a can find it and the files inside it.

To workaround this I was downloading every item that is not a folder and has the extension that I am searching for through this code below.
However, I am only being able to download files that belongs to my personal OneDrive library.

from O365 import Account, MSGraphProtocol
import os



id=myId
client_secret=myClientSecret

credentials = (id,client_secret)


protocol = MSGraphProtocol(api_version='beta')  # MSGraphProtocol defaults to v1.0 api version
account = Account(credentials, protocol=protocol)

account = Account(credentials=credentials)

storage = account.storage()  # here we get the storage instance that handles all the storage options.

# list all the drives:
drives = storage.get_drives()

# get the default drive
my_drive = storage.get_default_drive()  # or get_drive('drive-id')

shared_folders=my_drive.get_shared_with_me()

files=my_drive.search('Efetivo Carcerário -')

for item in files:
    if 'File'==str(item).split(':')[0]:
        if 'xlsx'==str(item).split('.')[-1]:
           print(item.download())

You should use:

drive.get_shared_with_me

You can filter some items although notice that Ms graph limits the filters you can apply.

Then test each item returned to see if it's a folder and the name is the same as expected. Then you can get the folder and download it's items.

Did you get this sorted out? I've been trying to do the same thing.

When I print out all the attributes of a shared folder called 'LVO', is_folder=False and is_file=True. However if I get remote=item.remote_item, is_folder=True and is_file=False. Unfortunately, when I try and do remote.get_items() it fails with: Item does not exist. Oddly, remote.child_count returns the right answer.

Any clues appreciates.

from O365 import Account
client_id = '...'
client_secret_id = '...'
client_secret_value = '...'
credentials = (client_id, client_secret_value)
account = Account(credentials)
storage = account.storage()
my_drive = storage.get_default_drive()
shared=my_drive.get_shared_with_me()
for item in shared:
if item.name == 'LVO': # Just get one shared folder called 'LVO'
print(f' {item.name:15}') # print the mime type
attrs = dir(item)
print(attrs)
for a in attrs:
print(f'{a:30} {item.getattribute(a)}')

    remote = item.remote_item
    remote_attrs = dir(remote)
    print('\n Remote item attrs')
    for a in remote_attrs:
        print(f'{a:30} {remote.__getattribute__(a)}')
    print('\n Try getting remote attributes')
    for a in remote_attrs:
        result = item.__getattribute__(a)
        print(f'{a:30} {item.__getattribute__(a)}')
   print(f'child_count = {remote.child_count}') # 13
  remote_folder_items = remote.get_items()   # Fails with Item does not exist
