If you encounter an error message that says, "Microsoft Graph API Error: invalidRequest," this issue is likely due to an invalid character entered as an answer to one of your questions directed to a SharePoint Library or OneDrive.
Certain characters have special meanings and restrictions when used in file names in OneDrive, SharePoint, Windows, and macOS. For instance, "*" is used for wildcards, and "\" is used in file paths. As a result, SharePoint and OneDrive do not allow certain characters.
Characters not allowed in SharePoint and OneDrive file and folder names:
Note: leading and trailing spaces are also not allowed in file or folder names.
Common error messages associated with restricted characters:
- Microsoft Graph API Error: invalidRequest - A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (*).
- Microsoft Graph API Error: invalidRequest - A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (>).
If you encounter these errors, check for restricted characters in your file or folder names and remove them to resolve the issue.
