Read file/folder Availability Status

C# - I'm building a console app to read the OneDrive folder status.
I can read so many attributes of file/folder but don't know how to get the Status column value here.

UPDATED: This approach is different that the one that describe here (using Shell32, registry...)
How can I check local OneDrive folder is in sync?

So it is not duplicated question

Add reference to Shell32 e.g C:WindowsSysWOW64shell32.dll
( I did try the WindowsAPICodePack ShellPropertyCollection but that did not work )

public static class OneDriveExtensions

private static int GetAvailabilityStatusIndex(Folder folder)

var index = 0;
while (true)

var details = folder.GetDetailsOf(folder, index);
if (details == "Availability status")

return index;

index++;


public static string OneDriveAvailability(this FileInfo file)

int availabilityStatusIndex;
return OneDriveAvailability(file, out availabilityStatusIndex);

public static string OneDriveAvailability(this FileInfo file,out int availabilityStatusIndex)


Shell shell = new Shell();
Folder objFolder = shell.NameSpace(file.DirectoryName);
availabilityStatusIndex = GetAvailabilityStatusIndex(objFolder);
return objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolder.ParseName(file.Name), availabilityStatusIndex);


public static string OneDriveAvailability(this FileInfo file, int availabilityStatusIndex)

Shell shell = new Shell();
Folder objFolder = shell.NameSpace(file.DirectoryName);
FolderItem objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName(file.Name);
return objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolderItem, availabilityStatusIndex);


public static IEnumerable<OneDriveFileInfo> OneDriveAvailability(this DirectoryInfo directory,Func<DirectoryInfo,IEnumerable<FileInfo>> files)

var requireIndex = true;
int availabilityStatusIndex = 0;
return files(directory).Select(f =>

string oneDriveAvailability;
if (requireIndex)

requireIndex = false;
oneDriveAvailability= f.OneDriveAvailability(out availabilityStatusIndex);

else

oneDriveAvailability= f.OneDriveAvailability(availabilityStatusIndex);

return new OneDriveFileInfo(oneDriveAvailability, f);
);

public static IEnumerable<OneDriveFileInfo> OneDriveAvailability(this IEnumerable<FileInfo> files,int availabilityIndex)

return files.Select(f => new OneDriveFileInfo(f.OneDriveAvailability(availabilityIndex), f));


public class OneDriveFileInfo

public OneDriveFileInfo(string availabilityStatus, FileInfo file)

this.AvailabilityStatus = availabilityStatus;
this.File = file;

public string AvailabilityStatus get; private set;
public FileInfo File get; private set;
