How to download SharePoint files that are shared to me by others via http?

MT 0

some one shared a folder to my account(eg: ******@outlook.com), and send me the shared link, like: https://someone-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/ssssssss/EksqdZ4NOMhBjgsfc35IqakBaJwaOj1xMzg1BSLj8zEF-A?e=oaqPo8

when i got the link, i want to download all the files from this link via http.

so i created an application at Azure under my account(******@outlook.com), and grant "Files.ReadWrite" permission to my client_id.

then i build a program with the guide from Microsoft Graph REST API:

get access token with my tenant_id, client_id, client_secret --> all goods;
download files from the shared link with access token --> failed,
got error: "General exception while processing"

how can i fix this ? is it possible to download files that shared from others by this way ?

below is my codes:
