microsoft-graph-api - Graph request to list root children returns empty

Question

I'm using the graph explorer to try list the root's children via call to GET /drive/root/children but getting empty response (while I have many files & folders in my directory):

{
  "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#drive/root/children",
  "value": []
}

Any idea why and how to fix this?

Answer 1

Please use GET /me/drive/root/children to list your personal drive. GET /drive/root/children lists the content of your organization's drive/SharePoint site.
