Find the folder ID

To perform operations on folders, you need to supply the ID. You can find this:

• In the URL of the folder

• By searching for it using the node. You need to do this if using MS 365 (where OneDrive uses SharePoint behind the scenes):

  1. Select Resource > Folder.

  2. Select Operation > Search.

  3. In Query, enter the folder name.

  4. Select Execute step. n8n runs the query and returns data about the folder, including an id field containing the folder ID.
