How do I create multiple sub folder in one drive

Question

Hi ,

I have multiple account folders and would like to create sub folders under each account.

For example if I have account folders named Jim, Jane, and John. I want to create a subfolder called "2023" under each one via a script is that possible in one drive?

Hi @PK ,

You can use PowerShell to automate the process. Here is an example script that creates subfolder under each of the account folders named Jim, Jane, and John:

$accounts = "Jim", "Jane", "John"
foreach ($account in $accounts) {
    $path = "/drive/root:/$account/2023"
    $body = @{name = "2023"; folder = @{ }; "@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior" = "rename" } | ConvertTo-Json
    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root:$path" -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $accessToken"} -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType "application/json"
}

Replace $accessToken with your OneDrive API access token. This script creates a subfolder named "2023" under each account folder named Jim, Jane, and John.
