I have been using SharePoint.Files to connect to another person's OneDrive which has folders shared with me uisng the following connection:
= SharePoint.Files("https://my_company.sharepoint.com/personal/other_person_name/", [ApiVersion = 15])
This works. I am able to authenticate and access only the shared folders using my credentials. I can see all of the folders shared with me and access their content.
However, when I tried using SharePoint.Contents to access the same shared OneDrive content, it doesn't accept the same authentication used for SharePoint.Files.
= SharePoint.Contents("https://my_company.sharepoint.com/personal/other_person_name/", [ApiVersion = 15])
Is this expected behavior? I expected that would be able to authenticate and see only the shared folders and be able to navigate to the folder I wanted and get content.
Ideas?
Edited to add:
I am using "Microsoft account" authentication in both connections.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Changed API to 14 from 15 and then it authenticates!
= SharePoint.Contents("https://my_company.sharepoint.com/personal/other_person_name/", [ApiVersion = 14])
Hmm ...
This worked for me
PBI Team, please fix you SharePoint browser so we don't have to resort to these tricks. Don't get me wrong, love the job security, but this solution is about as sketchy as SharePoint is. PBI is better than that!
Hi @009co
Not sure what is the specific difference between two API versions that could explain this problem. It seems switching to 14 can solve several problems with version 15.
