Get source and drive id for files in SP with Power Automate
When using SharePoint as a data storage in Power Automate, some actions require the source and drive ID instead of the SharePoint site URL and document library ID. To obtain these IDs, you can use a "dummy" action in Power Automate and extract the IDs from the code. Alternatively, you can use the "Get file properties" action to retrieve the file ID. Another method is to use the Graph API to find the SharePoint site ID, list all libraries (drives), and access the specific file using the path and file name. This article provides step-by-step instructions for both approaches.
