Upload files to SharePoint Library
A PowerShell with SharePoint tutorial
 SharePoint
has several methods to
upload files from Windows Explorer to a document library,
but if you want to do it automatically, you should use a
PowerShell script.
In such a scenario, you can put all files that should be
uploaded in a specific folder and then they will be uploaded
automatically to the SharePoint library of your choice.
In a later article, Peter Kalmström will explain how to
schedule such tasks, but here he will just show how to upload
all the files in a Windows Explorer folder to a SharePoint
document library.
Peter uses the cmdlet Get-ChildItem to copy the items in
the Windows Explorer folder to an array that contains all
items in the folder. After that, he can add them to the
SharePoint library with a forEach loop and the cmdlet Add-PnPFile.
$Files = Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\PeterKalmström\Documents\ToImport"
foreach($File in $Files){
#$File
= $Files[0]
Add-PnPFile -Folder "Shared
Documents" -Path $File.FullName
}
We will expand this script in the
next
article, so that copied files are move to a subfolder and
not included in the next run. After that we will make it
automatic.
You will find more detailed explanations in
the
book.
