Overview
Being one of the most common questions “How to upload files to SharePoint Library?”, i noticed that usually folder structure is not taken into account in the provided solutions.
So i decided to fill the gap and implement another version that allows to preserve folder structure while uploading files.
Prerequisites
- SharePoint client components SDK have to be installed on the machine running the script
PowerShell script
PowerShell script demonstrates how to upload files within a specified local directory to a Document Library within a Site in an O365 tenant.
Great script, but don’t forget to close the stream:
$FileStream = $LocalFile.OpenRead();
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File]::SaveBinaryDirect($Web.Context, $fileUrl, $FileStream, $true)
$FileStream.Close();
Thanks for the tip!
i tried to use this script but i got an error. it says that “Documents” does not exist. as i have checked, Document library folder exist on my SharePoint account.
If your native language is different than English try typing “documents” in your own language that worked for me.
Thanks for the script it’s great. I am trying to figure out how to start the import one level deeper and wonder if had a tip? So not at the root level context but starting at a sub-folder? Thanks!

When i attempt to upload to sharepoint online, I can create the folder structure but no documents will create. I’ve tried running as administrator and normal user, The account I’m using on the sharepoint online is the site owner so doesnt have the required permissions.
I need to do this for a OneDrive migration, but what I want is to create a folder called “Archive” and then copy all the content into that folder so users don’t get cluttered with old content. Any clues? I’m OK with Powershell generally but only just started looking as Sharepoint, CSOM, etc.
My workaround at present for this is to move the existing HomeDrive content into a “Archive” folder at the source using standard file operations I understand, but this isn’t ideal.
Great script, thanks for sharing!
