Additional information

  • Users can subscribe to changes to the root folder only, and cannot subscribe to changes in sub-folders. OneDrive for Business accounts are typically used in organizations.

  • Users can make changes only to files or folders directly in the specified Parent Folder ID. Any changes to a file or folder in the a sub-folder of the specified parent folder will not trigger the flow. A new flow will need to be created with the sub-folder as the parent folder in order to track changes to items in the sub-folder.

  • Users must be part of the group or have direct access to the file to read permissions of a file in that group.
