You’ll also learn how to execute additional operations, such as accessing the App folder and sharing a link to an item with friends.

You’ll see how the user can log into the system using oAuth and how file system operations (browsing folders, getting file information, getting file content, uploading files and so on) can be leveraged. First, you’ll learn how the REST API is working, and how developers are expected to interact with it. This first of a two-part article will show you how to leverage the new OneDrive API to build Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. This is a flexible way to interact with the gigantic cloud file storage and to build cross-platform code using well-known code-sharing techniques that can run on all Windows platforms, and even on iOS and Android with Xamarin platforms. Now, however, the OneDrive team provides a modern REST API based on HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT and so on). But the most difficult part was that this predefined experience didn’t let the code be shared between platforms. For example, the login mechanism was only possible using a built-in button control, of which the developer couldn’t change the appearance, nor the behavior. In previous frameworks, such as Windows Phone 8, the OneDrive team provided an SDK that was quite comfortable to use, but didn’t give the developer a lot of freedom.
