I am developing an app that watches the use of files by users. I need to get a list of all files in the enterprise. I cannot see a way to query from a single user. That user can only see their own files even when they are a global admin. I have been using the endpoint,

https://{1}-my.sharepoint.com/personal/{0}/_api/files

1 being my site and 0 being the user. 

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the list of all files of a specific user.

I suggest you can query the createdBy field to get the result like below:

https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/_api/files?$select=Title,CreatedBy&$filter=CreatedBy eq 'username'

Thanks

Best Regards

Thanks, the solution still does not give me files in the user's personal folders. I have been using a work around by using the Sharepoint Search API to get the files listings that I want.
