MS Graph Issue with a get filesfolder for a teams channel - microsoft-graph-api

Question

I've written a program using the MS Graph REST API that sends a message to a channel with a file attached to the message using delegated permissions.
It works fine using my Office 365 account and have used it with a couple of customers without issue.
Using it at a new customer, I am getting the following error.
But, I am able to upload a file to the Channel Folder manually in the Teams App without issue.
Error:

Code Snippet:
Request folderRequest = new Request.Builder()
.url("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/${teamId}/channels/${channelId}/filesFolder")
.method("GET", null)
.addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer ${token}")
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(folderRequest).execute();
println "Response Message: " + response.message();

Answer 1

This call fails with a 404 response when a new team/channel is created via the Graph API. This happens because the channel files folder is not created when creating a Team/Channel. By design unless the user initiate the file tab the graph API will throw the error.
The issue described above is resolved if a user clicks on the 'Files' tab. Post initialization, try again after sometime and observe result.
