Microsoft Graph API - Accessing files for Group

Question

I am building an application which needs to use the Microsoft Graph API to access a particular file which exists within the documents for a particular Group within my organisation.

I have identified the Group ID for the group in which the document lives, however I cannot figure out how to access the drive for this particular group.

If I do a GET request for "/groups/{ID}/drive" or for "/groups/{ID}/drive/root/children/" I get the following response:

{   'error': {   'code': 'ResourceNotFound',
                 'innerError': {   'date': '2020-05-20T14:50:24',
                                   'request-id': '155cdb67-49b4-4f87-9b04-ce68e9f34364'},
                 'message': 'Unable to provision resource.'}}

I have previously managed to work with files within my OneDrive or a particular SP site using the Microsoft Graph API, however I cannot identify the group documents.

The API reference docs for the Group resource (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/group?view=graph-rest-1.0) do not seem to contain information about a method for accessing the documents, despite the overview page for the Graph API indicating that it does contain a "get files" method (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/teams-api-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0).

Does such a method exist? Or is there a different way of accessing the Group's files - e.g through a particular SP site?

You can use below endpoints

GET /groups/{group-id}/drive/items/{item-id}/children
List Children of a drive

Also you can use below for searching

GET /groups/{group-id}/drive/root/search(q='{search-text} Search for an item
