List containers

2025-07-23

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Get a list of fileStorageContainer objects that are accessible to a caller. The containerTypeId filter parameter is required.

Important

Requests made on behalf of a user fail if the user doesn't have a OneDrive. This requirement doesn't apply when you call the endpoint without a user context (app-only authentication). The endpoint also only returns containers that the user is a direct member of. Containers that the user is a member of via a group aren't returned.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	FileStorageContainer.Selected	FileStorageContainer.Manage.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	FileStorageContainer.Selected	Not available.
Application	FileStorageContainer.Selected	Not available.

HTTP request

GET /storage/fileStorage/containers?$filter=containerTypeId eq {containerTypeId}
GET /storage/fileStorage/containers?$filter=containerTypeId eq {containerTypeId} and viewpoint/effectiveRole eq 'principalOwner'

Query parameters

This method requires the containerTypeId parameter. It supports the $expand OData query parameter, except for the drive, permissions, and customProperties properties. If other $filter conditions are used, the endpoint might return intermediate pages with partial results or even no results, and the caller must continue to read all pages to get all applicable results. For more information, see OData query parameters.

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

Don't supply a request body for this method.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200 OK response code and a collection of fileStorageContainer objects in the response body. Only a limited subset of properties is returned for each fileStorageContainer.

Examples

Request

The following example enumerates all containers of a given container type.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/storage/fileStorage/containers?$filter=containerTypeId eq e2756c4d-fa33-4452-9c36-2325686e1082


// Code snippets are only available for the latest version. Current version is 5.x

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=csharp
var result = await graphClient.Storage.FileStorage.Containers.GetAsync((requestConfiguration) =>
{
	requestConfiguration.QueryParameters.Filter = "containerTypeId eq e2756c4d-fa33-4452-9c36-2325686e1082";
});

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
