Hi @sns ,

Please check whether this library has unique permission. And check your permission if this library has unique permission.

Library > Library settings > Permissions for this document library

And you could try to use following PowerShell commands:

#Variables  
$SiteURL = "https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx"  
$FilesPath = "D:\xxx"  
$ServerRelativePath = "/Shared Documents"  
   
#Connect to PnP Online  
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Credentials (Get-Credential)  
   
#Get All Files from a Local Folder  
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $FilesPath -Force -Recurse  
   
#Upload All files from the directory  
ForEach ($File in $Files)  
{  
    Write-host "Uploading $($File.Directory)\$($File.Name)"  
    
    #upload a file to sharepoint online using powershell - Upload File and Set Metadata  
    Add-PnPFile -Path "$($File.Directory)\$($File.Name)" -Folder $ServerRelativePath -Values @{"Title" = $($File.Name)}  
}
