A fileStorageContainer object is created in an inactive state, as indicated by the status property. A container must be activated within 24 hours after creation, or it will be automatically deleted. Upon activation, the value of the status property changes from inactive to active.
A fileStorageContainer can be activated by calling the activate API, or any other API that updates or modifies the fileStorageContainer or its content. For example, uploading a file to a fileStorageContainer, adding permission to a fileStorageContainer, creating a custom property on a fileStorageContainer, or updating the properties of a fileStorageContainer can activate it.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use higher privileged permissions or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
