Has anyone found a way to manage Sharepoint files within specific folders (originally captured in a list) on an internal Sharepoint without the use of the Sharepoint package?

Hi ​@Chris 621 - Prior to the release of the SharePoint package we used Python for file upload/download from SharePoint to the local desktop or Network folders.  Alternately, you can use the Microsoft Graph via the REST API to perform file and folder actions.  The benefit of this option is access to any custom fields you may have as well as access to the response headers.  Not having access to the response headers within the SharePoint package has been a pain point for us due to increased 429 errors (Too Many Requests).  The response header returns the suggested wait time before retry.  Since there is no access to this we use exponential retries in our loop which MS apparently frowns upon (we learned this after being chastised by MS when we reached out over a dramatic increase in our rate of 429 errors received).
