Upload files to SharePoint Library and Move to Subfolder
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 the
previous
article, Peter Kalmström explainded how to create a script
that uploads files from Windows Explorer to a SharePoint
document library, and in next demo he will explain how to
schedule such tasks.
However, first he must make sure that all files that have
been copied to SharePoint will be moved to a subfolder.
This subfolder, should of course not be uploaded to the
library.
When the subfolder has been creted, Peter exoands the forEach
loop that he created in the previous article. To filter
out the subfolder, ´he uses the property psisContainer which
returns a boolean that indicates whether the current object
is a folder or not.
$Files = Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\PeterKalmström\Documents\ToImport"
foreach($File in $Files){
#$File
= $Files[0]
if($File.PSIsContainer -ne $true){
Add-PnPFile -Folder "Shared
Documents" -Path $File.FullName
Move-Item -Path $File.FullName -Destination
 "C:\Users\PeterKalmström\Documents\ToImport\Imported"
}
}
You will find more detailed explanations in
the
book.
