OneDrive file download simplified
-
Basically I take in a standard URI starting with /me/... like /me/skydrive/folder1/folder2/file and then return the file. The way it is suppose to work. All written in visual basic - just to be different. Programmed using Unidex so feel free to ask what this or that does. This is a working example that does not need to be debugged The only thing Unidex does in this example is parses the words from the URI, once you create your own code to put each word in a list you should be able to use this same logic.
'Take in any string, parse the information and returns the file from the users OneDrive

Lounge postings disappear rapidly. After 3 months, it'll be hard to find it here and people won't come upon it. A Tip has longevity.

On the front page, or under articles. A tip/trick is a short article. Click the articles menu option and choose "Submit an article or tip" from the dropdown to create your own tip. Just make sure you select Tip/Trick in the appropriate combo on the right hand side.

The Microsoft documentation is horrifying to get this job done, this here is a working example for people in how to achieve something that Microsoft Virtual Academy said had to be done using URI relative to a single file and you couldn't navigate through the OneDrive like any other folder.

Hey, that's useful information. You should put it on the Tips/Tricks forum.
