Graph upload large file with powershell

Question

I have looked at previous posts on this topic and still have not managed to be able to upload a large file to SharePoint using the Resumable Upload. I have some specific areas where I have questions. My current code is:

$fileName = "myfile.jpg"
$createUploadSessionUri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/$($site.id)/drive/items/$($drive.id):/$($fileName):/createUploadSession"
$uploadSession = Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Method POST -Uri $createUploadSessionUri -Body $body -ContentType 'application/json'
Write-Host $uploadSession.uploadUrl #correctly creates upload session
Write-host $uploadSession.expirationDateTime

#### Send bytes to the upload session
$path = "myfile.jpg"

$fileInBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($path)
$fileLength = $fileInBytes.Length
write-host "fileinbytes length=$fileLength" # correct length of file 4653349

## Split the file up
$PartSizeBytes = 320 * 1024 # 327680
$index = 0
$start = 0 #start at 0
$end = 0

while ($fileLength -gt $end) {
  $start = $index * $PartSizeBytes # first iteration = 0
  $end = $start + $PartSizeBytes - 1 # first iteration = 327679
  $body = $fileInBytes[$start..$end]

  write-host $body.Length.ToString()
  $headers = @{
    'Content-Length' = $body.Length.ToString()
    'Content-Range' = "bytes $start-$end/$fileLength"
  }
  write-Host "bytes $start-$end/$fileLength" # correct content range "bytes 0-327679/4653349"

  write-host $body # correct number of bytes 327679
  $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Put' -Uri $uploadSession.uploadUrl -Body $body -Headers $headers -SkipHeaderValidation # <<<<<fail

  $index++
}

So, everything seems to be correct according to documentation, except it errors out on the rest call to upload the chunks.

Bad Request  Bad Request - Invalid Content Length HTTP
     | Error 400. There is an invalid content length or chunk length
     | in the request.

Questions are:

1. Do I have to pass in a Content-Type to the upload call?
2. Am I sending the correct body (255 216...)?
3. Are there any other headers I'm missing, OR that I should not be including
4. Is the PartSizeBytes variable appropriate?
5. Am I properly chunking the file?

Answer 1

I was finally able to achieve the upload using script bellow. I had to make some modifications with counting the chunks. Hope someone might find it useful :).

$driveid = "*******************"  
$fileName = "20220627_143840.jpg"  
$path = "C:\testUpload\20220627_143840.jpg"  
  
$AZcred = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{  
    [string]"appID"    = "*******************";  
    [string]"tenantID" = "*******************";  
    [string]"secret"   = (ConvertTo-SecureString "*******************" -AsPlainText -Force)  
}  
  
$AuthToken = Get-MsalToken -TenantId $AZcred.tenantID -ClientId $AZcred.appID -ClientSecret $AZcred.secret  
$AuthToken = @{'Authorization' = "Bearer $($AuthToken.AccessToken)" }  
  
$createUploadSessionUri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/<siteID>/drives/$($driveid)/root:/$($fileName):/createUploadSession"  
$uploadSession = (Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST -Uri $createUploadSessionUri -Headers $AuthToken -ContentType 'application/json').content | ConvertFrom-Json  
  
#### Send bytes to the upload session  
$fileInBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($path)  
$fileLength = $fileInBytes.Length  
  
## Split the file up  
$PartSizeBytes = 320 * 1024 # 327680  
$index = 0  
$start = 0   
$end = 0  
while ($fileLength -gt ($end + 1)) {  
    $start = $index * $PartSizeBytes  
    if (($start + $PartSizeBytes - 1) -lt $fileLength) {  
        $end = ($start + $PartSizeBytes - 1)  
    }  
    else {  
        $end = ($start + ($fileLength - ($index * $PartSizeBytes)) - 1)  
    }  
      
    [byte[]]$body = $fileInBytes[$start..$end]  
    write-host $body.Length.ToString()  
    $headers = @{  
        'Content-Length' = $body.Length.ToString()  
        'Content-Range'  = "bytes $start-$end/$fileLength"  
    }  
    write-Host "bytes $start-$end/$fileLength | Index: $index and ChunkSize: $PartSizeBytes"  
    $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Method Put -Uri $uploadSession.uploadUrl -Body $body -Headers $headers  
  
    $index++  
}

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can try to upload the entire file in one go like this:

 $headers=@{  
	'Content-Length' = $fileLength  
    'Content-Range' = "bytes 0-$($fileLength-1)/$fileLength"  
	'Content-Type'="image/jpeg"  
 }  
 Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Put' -Uri $uploadUrl -Body $fileInBytes -Headers $headers

I was able to upload with the following code:

$fileName = "myfile.jpg"
$createUploadSessionUri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/$($site.id)/drives/$($drive.id)/root:/$($fileName):/createUploadSession"
$uploadSession = Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Method POST -Uri $createUploadSessionUri -Body $body -ContentType 'application/json'
Write-Host $uploadSession.uploadUrl
Write-host $uploadSession.expirationDateTime

#### Send bytes to the upload session
$path = "myfile.jpg"

$fileInBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($path)
$fileLength = $fileInBytes.Length

$headers = @{
  'Content-Range' = "bytes 0-$($fileLength-1)/$fileLength"
}
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'Put' -Uri $uploadSession.uploadUrl -Body $fileInBytes -Headers $headers

Needed to remove the Content-Length. Hope this helps someone else struggling as I was.

Answer 4

I was having similar issues to you and I found out that the line
$body = $fileInBytes[$start..$end]
creates an object array instead of a byte array that causes the REST api to fail. After I changed the code to
[byte[]]$body = $fileInBytes[$start..$end]
it started to work as expected. This is of course if your file is on the larger side, else uploading in one go works fine for most files.

Answer 5

Here is my approach, which uses Invoke-MgGraphRequest to simplify authentication. This places a file on My OneDrive desktop.

Connect-MgGraph -TenantId baseline.consulting -ContextScope Process

$FileToUpload = Get-Item "C:\tmp\BigFile.mike"

$FileName = $FileToUpload.name

$parentItemId = ((Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Uri "beta/me/drive/root/children").value | Where-Object name -eq 'Desktop').id # My Desktop

$uri = "v1.0/me/drive/items/$parentItemId`:/$FileName`:/createUploadSession"

$uploadSession = Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Uri $uri -Method POST -Body  @{name = $FileName }

$FileBytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($FileToUpload.FullName)

$FileSize = $FileBytes.length

$ChunkSize = 320KB * 191 # adjust for perf

if ($ChunkSize -ge 60MB) { Write-Error "ChunkSize Too Big" } # https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-createuploadsession?view=graph-rest-1.0#upload-bytes-to-the-upload-session

$RangeMin = 0

While ($RangeMin -lt $FileSize) {

    $Final = $RangeMin + $ChunkSize -gt $FileSize

    if (-not $Final) {

        $RangeMax = [math]::Min($RangeMin + $ChunkSize - 1, $FileSize)

        $FileChunk = [byte[]]$FileBytes[$RangeMin..$RangeMax]

    }

    else {

        $RangeMax = $FileSize - 1

        $FileChunk = [byte[]]$FileBytes[$RangeMin..$RangeMax]

    }

    $Headers = @{

        [string]'Content-Type'   = "application/octet-stream"

        [string]'Content-Length' = $FileChunk.length

        [string]'Content-Range'  = "bytes $RangeMin-$RangeMax/$FileSize"

    }

    # Uncomment to write chunk data

    # $Headers | ConvertTo-Json | Write-Host -fore cyan

    # $FileChunk.Length | Write-Host -fore cyan

    Invoke-MgGraphRequest -Uri $uploadSession.uploadUrl -Method PUT -Headers $Headers -Body $FileChunk -SkipHeaderValidation

    $RangeMin += $ChunkSize

}
