By Here in this post – I will show how we can upload multiple files or documents to SharePoint online document library using PowerShell CSOM programmatically from the given directory.
Below are the list of files – located in my local directory which I am going to upload to SharePoint online document library using the PowerShell coding.
Making sure no files are available in my SharePoint online “TestDocumentLibrary” before executing the code.
PowerShell CSOM Script to upload the files:
#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" cls $fileName = "File_Uploading_Report" #'yyyyMMddhhmm yyyyMMdd $enddate = (Get-Date).tostring("yyyyMMddhhmmss") #$filename = $enddate + '_VMReport.doc' $logFileName = $fileName +"_"+ $enddate+"_Log.txt" $invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation).Value $directoryPath = Split-Path $invocation.MyCommand.Path $directoryPathForLog=$directoryPath+"\"+"LogFiles" if(!(Test-Path -path $directoryPathForLog)) { New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $directoryPathForLog #Write-Host "Please Provide Proper Log Path" -ForegroundColor Red } #$logPath = $directoryPath + "\" + $logFileName $logPath = $directoryPathForLog + "\" + $logFileName $isLogFileCreated = $False #DLL location $directoryPathForDLL=$directoryPath+"\"+"Dependency Files" if(!(Test-Path -path $directoryPathForDLL)) { New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $directoryPathForDLL #Write-Host "Please Provide Proper Log Path" -ForegroundColor Red } #DLL location $clientDLL=$directoryPathForDLL+"\"+"Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll" $clientDLLRuntime=$directoryPathForDLL+"\"+"Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll" Add-Type -Path $clientDLL Add-Type -Path $clientDLLRuntime #Files to upload location $directoryPathForFileToUploadLocation=$directoryPath+"\"+"Files To Upload" if(!(Test-Path -path $directoryPathForFileToUploadLocation)) { New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $directoryPathForFileToUploadLocation #Write-Host "Please Provide Proper Log Path" -ForegroundColor Red } #Files to upload location ends here. function Write-Log([string]$logMsg) { if(!$isLogFileCreated){ Write-Host "Creating Log File..." if(!(Test-Path -path $directoryPath)) { Write-Host "Please Provide Proper Log Path" -ForegroundColor Red } else { $script:isLogFileCreated = $True Write-Host "Log File ($logFileName) Created..." [string]$logMessage = [System.String]::Format("[$(Get-Date)] - {0}", $logMsg) Add-Content -Path $logPath -Value $logMessage } } else { [string]$logMessage = [System.String]::Format("[$(Get-Date)] - {0}", $logMsg) Add-Content -Path $logPath -Value $logMessage } } #The below function will upload the file from local directory to SharePoint Online library. Function FileUploadToSPOnlineLibrary() { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $SPOSiteURL, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $SourceFilePath, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $File, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $TargetLibrary, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $UserName, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string] $Password ) Try { $securePassword= $Password | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force #Setup the Context $ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SPOSiteURL) $ctx.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($UserName, $securePassword) $list = $ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($TargetLibrary) $ctx.Load($list) $ctx.ExecuteQuery() $tarGetFilePath=$siteURL+"/"+"$TargetLibrary"+"/"+$File $fileOpenStream = New-Object IO.FileStream($SourceFilePath, [System.IO.FileMode]::Open) $fileCreationInfo = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FileCreationInformation $fileCreationInfo.Overwrite = $true $fileCreationInfo.ContentStream = $fileOpenStream $fileCreationInfo.URL = $File $uploadFileInfo = $list.RootFolder.Files.Add($FileCreationInfo) $ctx.Load($uploadFileInfo) $ctx.ExecuteQuery() Write-host -f Green "File '$SourceFilePath' has been uploaded to '$tarGetFilePath' successfully!" } Catch { $ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message +"in uploading File!: " +$tarGetFilePath Write-Host $ErrorMessage -BackgroundColor Red Write-Log $ErrorMessage } } #Variables $siteURL="https://globalsharepoint.sharepoint.com/sites/TestSite/" $listName="TestDocumentLibrary" $fromDate="2019-10-28" $toDate="2019-11-09" $filesFolderLoaction=$directoryPathForFileToUploadLocation; $userName = "YourSPOAccount@YourTenantDomain.com" $password = "YourPassWord" $securePassword= $password | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force #Variables ends here. $filesCollectionInSourceDirectory=Get-ChildItem $filesFolderLoaction -File $uploadItemCount=1; #Extract the each file item from the folder. ForEach($oneFile in $filesCollectionInSourceDirectory) { try { FileUploadToSPOnlineLibrary -SPOSiteURL $siteURL -SourceFilePath $oneFile.FullName -File $oneFile -TargetLibrary $listName -UserName $UserName -Password $Password $fileUploadingMessage=$uploadItemCount.ToString()+": "+$oneFile.Name; Write-Host $fileUploadingMessage -BackgroundColor DarkGreen Write-Log $fileUploadingMessage $uploadItemCount++ } catch { $ErrorMessage = $_.Exception.Message +"in: " +$oneFile.Name Write-Host $ErrorMessage -BackgroundColor Red Write-Log $ErrorMessage } } Write-Host "========================================================================" Write-Host "Total number of files uploaded: " $filesCollectionInSourceDirectory.Count Write-Host "========================================================================"
Execute the above script successfully.
Revisit the SharePoint online “TestDocumentLibrary”, we can see that four files have been uploaded:
Prerequisites to execute this script:
Need to place the below two DLLs in your script directory “Dependency Files” folder as like below:
Change the value of the variable in the variables section like below:
#Variables $siteURL="Site URL" $listName="Document Library Name" $filesFolderLoaction=$directoryPathForFileToUploadLocation; #Pass the local directory path where files are located. #Example:"C:\Temp\Files To Upload" $userName = "YourSPOAccount@YourTenantDomain.com" $password = "YourPassWord" $securePassword= $password | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force #Variables ends here.
