Graph API - Unable to Use Valid Access Token to Upload file

I am unable to upload a file using a valid access token (the token allows me to list groups, drive items etc.). The error that appears is:

invalidRequest: One of the provided arguments is not acceptable.

Using the following PUT request:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/my group id/drive/items/my item(folder) id:/test.txt:/content

using content type: text/plain

I tested this exact same request using the graph explorer https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer and my office 365 user account and the upload worked, so I though it might be an app permissions thing, however this did not work even after granting absolutely every permission to the app and regenerating the access tokem.
Please help as I would rather use an access token than my user account to perform the uploads.

Thankyou
Oliver

Just add a worked endpoint on my side:

PUT https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/my-group-id/drive/root:/test.txt:/content

Request body: The contents of the file goes here.

The content type of request header does not need to be configured.

You need to check your folder path too.

Thank you for your response. However I tried your suggestion and still get the same issue. I tried just placing the test file in the root, exactly as you have done (this should work shouldn't it?). And it failed. I also remove the Content-Type header and no success. I'm not sure where too look now as I am tempted just to use a different service like Dropbox to store my files.

Another question - did you use an authentication token or a user account to access the endpoint?

Me too, however mine is a daemon style token (not attached to a user). Is yours also a user independent token? Perhaps this is where the issue lies?

I managed to resolve by creating a new app definition in Azure AD with the same permissions and it worked! Perhaps there was some corruption in my original Azure application - maybe the manifest was corrupt (due to a bug)?
