OneDrive/SharePoint — Get info

OneDrive/SharePoint — Get info

Type: msfiles-get-info  ·  Package: OneDrive / SharePoint v1.0.5  ·  Output: Dictionary<string,object>

Gets the metadata of a file or folder from its ID: name, type, size, dates and link. Use it when you already have the ID and want to check its data before acting, for example whether it changed since the last run.

How it works

It works on the session created with OneDrive/SharePoint — Connect. Pass it in the session parameter, or place this activity inside the body of Connect to inherit it automatically.

It looks up the item in the session’s drive. It is read-only and does not download the content.

Required parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
id	string	—	ID of the file or folder in the drive.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
session	ZoanMicrosoftFilesSession	—	Connect session. Inherited inside Connect’s body.

Output

Returns a Dictionary<string,object> with the item’s data:

Key	Content
id	Item ID.
name	Name with extension.
isFolder	true if it is a folder.
size	Size in bytes.
webUrl	Address to open it in the browser.
parentId	ID of the folder that contains it.
modifiedTime / createdTime	ISO 8601 dates in UTC, as text.
childCount	Items it contains (folders only; null for files).

Access by key: info["name"], info["size"]. To compare dates, convert them with DateTimeOffset.Parse(info["modifiedTime"].ToString()).

Common errors

Message	Cause and fix
No OneDrive/SharePoint session available. Provide 'session' from an msfiles-connect activity, or place this activity inside the Connect activity's body so the session is inherited automatically.	The activity is outside Connect’s body and did not receive session. Place it inside the body or pass session = session.
'id' is required.	id is empty or its expression returned null.
itemNotFound (Microsoft Graph, 404) / Item not found.	There is no item with that ID in the session’s drive (or it was deleted). To check whether a file exists without stopping the process, wrap it in Try / Catch.

Example

OneDrive/SharePoint — Connect   credential = credential("m365-operations")
 └─ body:
      OneDrive/SharePoint — Get info   id = reportId   → output: info
      If   condition = Convert.ToInt64(info["size"]) > 20000000
       └─ then:
            Log   level = warning   message = info["name"] + " is larger than 20 MB"
