My problem is arizona is not the top level folder but is under shared documents which is the top level document library.

How do I go about adding documents to my arizona folder from my network directory?

use this powershell to upload to specific folder.

 if((Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell") -eq $null) { Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell } #Script settings $webUrl = "http://sharepoint.contoso.com/Corporate/Sales/" $docLibraryName = "Shared Documents" $docLibraryUrlName = "Shared Documents\arizona" # specify your subfolder url here $localFolderPath = "C:\Test" #Open web and library $web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl write-host $webUrl $docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName] write-host $docLibrary $files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles() write-host $files ForEach($file in $files) { if($file.Name.Contains(".pdf")) { write-host $file #Open file try { $fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead() #Add file $folder = $web.getfolder($docLibraryUrlName) write-host "Copying file " $file.Name " to " $folder.ServerRelativeUrl "..." $spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $file.Name,[System.IO.Stream]$fileStream, $true) write-host "Success" #Close file stream $fileStream.Close(); } catch { Write "Error: $file.name: $_" >>c:\logfile.txt continue; } } } #Dispose web $web.Dispose()

this will add your files from local drive to Arizona folder from network drive c:/Test

  • You can also use Robocopy or a simple file copy with powershell and create the path of the document library. And then just copy from shared path to Sharepoint Shared Path. Looks like \\sharepoint-server@20502(portnumber of web app)\DavWWWRoot\sites\site-example\document-library and you can net use this path, and copy/paste. Don't forget to net use ... /DELETE.

  • see my update answer. just replace .pdf with type of extension you want. also if you want more than one extension , than just use "-or" in the if loop Commented Apr 25, 2014 at 4:16

When adding files using PowerShell I prefer using Invoke-WebRequest with the PUT verb and then just specify the URL to where you want to store the file and its name.
