Answer 2

Thanks!

// Define the folder path for this example.

var serverRelativeUrlToFolder = '/shared documents';

So in the code above, is "shared documents" the name of the document library it is going to?

Answer 3

Dear TheodoreL,

The simplest way to upload a file to use the Upload option in the site library or go to http://site/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List={ID to the library} to upload the files.

To use Rest API and jQuery, you may also create a Upload button by HTML code. To insert the code on a modern page, you may use the modern script editor web part.

You may follow the steps in SharePoint | Online | Best Practice | install Modern Script Editor Web Part for SharePoint Online Modern Site. (microsoft.com) to deploy the web part in your tenant first.

Then you can follow the steps in Upload a file by using the REST API and jQuery | Microsoft Learn to upload a file by using Rest API and jQuery.

May I know whether you have some specific requirement by using jQuery and Rest API?

Another simpler way to upload a file to SharePoint Online may be to use PowerApps and Power Automate if you want to deploy a customized solution in your tenant.

Thanks for your effort and time!
