Answer 1

Hi there,

Here is how to upload files to SharePoint Online:

Load SharePoint CSOM Assemblies

Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"

Variables for Processing

$WebUrl = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/Sites/Sales"
$LibraryName ="Documents"
$SourceFile="C:\SitesToCreate.csv"
$AdminName ="Salaudeen@Crescent .com"
$AdminPassword ="password goes here"

Setup Credentials to connect

$Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($AdminName,(ConvertTo-SecureString $AdminPassword -AsPlainText -Force))

Set up the context

$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($WebUrl)
$Context.Credentials = $Credentials

Get the Library

$Library = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($LibraryName)

Get the file from disk

$FileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $SourceFile)).OpenRead()

Get File Name from source file path

$SourceFileName = Split-path $SourceFile -leaf

sharepoint online upload file powershell

$FileCreationInfo = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FileCreationInformation
$FileCreationInfo.Overwrite = $true
$FileCreationInfo.ContentStream = $FileStream
$FileCreationInfo.URL = $SourceFileName
$FileUploaded = $Library.RootFolder.Files.Add($FileCreationInfo)

powershell upload single file to sharepoint online

$Context.Load($FileUploaded)
$Context.ExecuteQuery()

Close file stream

$FileStream.Close()

write-host "File has been uploaded!"
