Answer 1

Hello,

id: represents the top folder ID and upload_location gives you the top folder location. You may use me/skydrive/files or USER_ID/skydrive/files to get the details of the contents of the Top folder.

Answer 2

What is it that you're trying to do?

Answer 3

Hi I am trying to download a shared files. I have an app which goes thru outlook email items and if there is a skydrive doc. the app will download it automatically. I already done the sign in bit and tokens.

I am not sure if the link below has a file id in it.

I have modified some numbers below so the link won't be valid.

Answer 4

basically i just want to download a skydrive file using REST.

the sample link above is what's sent to us. thanks

Answer 5

Where are you getting those links? They do not resemble anything that the Live Connect APIs should be returning... Who is generating the content for the emails you're scanning?

Answer 6

i think the link is generated from the skydrive.

can you download a file from a skydrive using REST?

what do i need to use to convert the result above into an object?

I just need to extract the Folder ID.  I tried using

DataContractJsonSerializer

Answer 7

All SkyDrive IDs that the Live Connect APIs use should be treated as opaque strings and we do not support any scenarios involving generating them yourself.
