You can now directly download content of a file <\/span>(of a Driveitem)<\/span><\/i> in a SharePoint Online site through a single call.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, while downloading file content via any endpoint mentioned <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, you used to get \u2018302 Found\u2019 response redirecting to a pre-authenticated download URL <\/span>(which is the same URL available through the \u2018microsoft.graph.downloadurl\u2019 property on the Driveitem)<\/span><\/i> which you had to call again to start the download process. This resulted in redundant calls increasing the network overhead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A new Microsoft Graph endpoint is introduced in BETA to enable you download content of file<\/span>*<\/span> through a single call, e.g., when you hit \u2018GET \/drives\/{drive-id}\/items\/{item-id}\/contentStream\u2019, it will start downloading the content from the stated drive-id directly.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*<\/span>Please note, only driveitem objects with the \u2018file\u2019 property can be downloaded.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the benefits?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The new endpoint improves network performance by eliminating redundant calls and enhances security by enabling direct streaming.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I use it?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Call any of the following endpoints to get started:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
