Creating Mass Sharepoint Subfolders In One Go

Question

Hi there,

We have a alot of client folders in our Sharepoint Document Library that will require us to input a 2021 folder within them, instead of doing this manually for each one (over 100) is there a script that can be run or some better way of doing it?

Thx

Hello @Jason Levy ,

You could use PnP powershell to achieve this, below is my example script for your reference:

$siteURL="https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/test"  
$library="/Shared Documents"  
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteURL  
  
$folderColl=Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl $library -ItemType Folder  
foreach($folder in $folderColl){  
	$folderUrl=$library+"/"+$folder.name  
	Add-PnPFolder -Name "2021" -Folder $folderUrl  
}
