onedrive-api-docs: API is creating invalid sharing links in some folders

Category

Expected or Desired Behavior

The API to create a sharing link should return a valid sharing link that can be accessed.

Observed Behavior

In some folders, when creating a Sharing Link, the generated link doesn’t work. The API seems to always return the same Sharing Link but when I go to the folder and check the created Sharing Links it doesn’t show any, and if I try to open the sharing link it says “Pedimos desculpa mas algo correu mal” which means something link “We are sorry but something went wrong”.

I’m following this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_createlink?view=odsp-graph-online

I’m using a business account.

Steps to Reproduce

I create request with this information: Item Id: 01CFGODSUNRIQ5P2BMDFGJVMQTKTPUSUQJ

Url: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/items/01CFGODSUNRIQ5P2BMDFGJVMQTKTPUSUQJ/createLink

Body:
	Format: JSON (application/json)
	Content: {"type":"edit","scope":"organization"}
Headers:
	Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJub25jZSI6Ik
	Content-Type: application/json

C# Code that I also used:

public Permission CreateSharedLinkOfItem(string itemId, string type)
{
	string graphUrl = $"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/items/{itemId}/createLink";
	HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.CreateHttp(graphUrl);
	request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + AccessToken);
	request.ContentType = "application/json";
	request.Method = "POST";

	FolderSharedLink folderSharedLink = new FolderSharedLink
	{
		Scope = "organization",
		Type = type
	};

	using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
	{
		string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(folderSharedLink);
		streamWriter.Write(json);
		streamWriter.Flush();
		streamWriter.Close();
	}

	var response = request.GetResponse();
	using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
	{
		return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Permission>(reader.ReadToEnd());
	}
}

Response:

I placed “*” in the response to hide some info about my company.

{
    "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#permission",
    "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.permission",
    "id": "f29249bb-616f-4522-a1c8-84c751e20fbb",
    "roles": [
        "write"
    ],
    "link": {
        "scope": "organization",
        "type": "edit",
        "webUrl": "https://spa*********-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/fileserver_******_fr/Eo2KIdfoLBlMmrITVN9JUgkBrsp2N8CfXc2MPPLYzGoBIg"
    }
}

If I try to open the webUrl returned it shows this:
