OneDrive & SharePoint Folders

Create and organize folder trees — nested structures, recursive inventory, upload/download of whole trees, and move/rename/delete. Each example uses throwaway folders and cleans up, so it is safe to re-run.

Prerequisites

Permission	Description	Reference
Files.Read	List folders and files recursively	Files permissions
Files.ReadWrite	Create, move, rename, delete folders; upload/download	Files permissions

All examples authenticate with username/password (client_id, username, password from tests.settings).

How the folder operations fit together

graph TD
    C["create / create_nested"]
    U["upload_folder"]
    L["list_recursive"]
    D["download_folder"]
    M["move_delete"]
    R["recycle bin"]

    C --> U
    U --> L
    U --> D
    M --> R

Which example to use: basic folder create + list (manage.py), build a deep structure (create_nested.py), inventory the whole drive (list_recursive.py), mirror a local folder up (upload_folder.py), pull a tree down as a zip (download_folder.py), or reorganize and clean up (move_delete.py).
