I cannot view/see my files which i have uploaded to SharePoint Online using Microsoft.Graph api

Question

With my AzureApp (ClientID) I am able to create folders in the drive and upload a file in the created folder.

In my App I can see, access and download the file. [/drives/{drive-id}/items/{itemid}

In the Share Point Online Browser logged in as the site owner: I can see all folders, but not the files.

When I call in the app /drives/{drive-id}/items/{itemid} I get also the "webUrl" property. When I open this in a browser an empty page is shown (404). (file type is PDF, should show the file).

When I call /drives/{drive-id}/items/{itemid}/permissions I do see the owner with "grantedTo" and "grantedToV2"

{
      "id": "aTowIy5mfG1lbWJlcnNoaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "roles": [
        "owner"
      ],
      "shareId": "aTowIy5mfG1lbWJlcnNoaXB8bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "grantedToV2": {
        "user": {
          "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.sharePointIdentity",
          "displayName": "Ingo yyy (Admin)",
          "email": "******@xxxxxx.onmicrosoft.com",
          "id": "69a7c4d5-abf4-4187-b241-xxxxxxxx"
        },
        "siteUser": {
          "displayName": "Ingo yyy(Admin)",
          "email": "******@xxxx.onmicrosoft.com",
          "id": "17",
          "loginName": "i:0#.f|membership|******@xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com"
        }
      },
      "grantedTo": {
        "user": {
          "displayName": "Ingo yyy(Admin)",
          "email": "******@xxx.onmicrosoft.com",
          "id": "69a7c4d5-abf4-4187-b241-xxxxx"
        }
      },
      "inheritedFrom": {}
    }

I would understand with an permission error, then I wold expect not seeing the folder and the files. But strange, I can see the folders (created via MS Graph) but not the file?

Thanks for your help

Hi @Ingo Neufert (MARINGO Computers),

Per my test, this might be caused by the file was checked out when it was uploaded. And there is no checked in version in sharepoint so the site owner unable to view the file. You can manage the file in library setting and click Manage files which have no checked in version

And you can set files checked in as default in Versioning settings. Then the file will not be checked out when uploading.
