OneDrive API
The OneDrive API is a RESTful web service provided by Microsoft that allows developers to programmatically access and manage files and folders stored in OneDrive and SharePoint. It enables integration with cloud storage for applications, supporting operations like uploading, downloading, sharing, and syncing files across devices. This API is part of Microsoft Graph, which provides a unified endpoint for accessing Microsoft 365 services.
Developers should learn the OneDrive API when building applications that require cloud storage integration, such as mobile apps, web services, or enterprise tools that need to store, retrieve, or collaborate on files. It is particularly useful for scenarios involving file backup, document management, or cross-platform synchronization, as it offers secure access to Microsoft's cloud ecosystem with features like versioning and permissions.
