How do I list files in a OneDrive folder?
Short answer: You can list onedrive files in Microsoft OneDrive by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Microsoft OneDrive List OneDrive Files action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Folder Path path | string | Required | Use 'root' for root, or a path like 'Documents/Projects' |
Limit top | string | Optional | Limit. e.g. "20" |
Sample request
{"path": "root","top": "20"}
Returns
{"value": [{"id": "file123","file": {"mimeType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"},"name": "Report.docx","size": 52000,"webUrl": "https://onedrive.live.com/...","lastModifiedDateTime": "2025-01-15T12:00:00Z"}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about List OneDrive Files.
What does the List OneDrive Files action do in Microsoft OneDrive?
Returns files and sub-folders in a specific folder. For batch-processing workflows or for inventorying folder contents.
What inputs does List OneDrive Files require?
Required: Folder Path. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Microsoft OneDrive returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Microsoft OneDrive returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List OneDrive Files support batch operations?
Run List OneDrive Files inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Microsoft OneDrive's rate limits.
