Updated: Use PowerShell Module OneDrive from PowerShellGallery to work with OneDrive via command line

wrote a PowerShell module to work with OneDrive via command line. The module use the documented OneDrive web API from Microsoft (https://dev.onedrive.com/README.htm). If you already have the module PowerShellGet to access PowerShellGallery installed, you can easily download this module with a single command:

Install-Module -Name OneDrive -Scope CurrentUser

You can update the module to a newer version with the same command (add -force). If you don‘t use PowerShellGet currently, go to the Gallery on https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/OneDrive and click on “Get Started”.

If you have any questions or feature requests, write me an email or get in touch with me via www.twitter.com/MarcelMeurer

Features (version 0.9.2 or higher)

The actual version of this module supports:

  • Authentication with OneDrive (half web-based)
  • Get properties of folder and files
  • List folders and files
  • Search files and folders
  • Create folders
  • Delete folders and files
  • Download files
  • Upload files (up to 100 Mbyte)

Next features to be implemented:

  • Rename files and folders
  • Check if an unattended login for authentication without a web form is possible
  • …

How to use the module (examples)

The functions accept a wider range of parameters as used in these examples. To display all parameters, examples and a description use “get-help”:

get-help Get-ODChildItems -detailed

To display all functions of this module type:

Get-Command -Module OneDrive

You can address files and folders through their path (-path) or element id (-ElementID).

Authentication

For each interaction with the OneDrive API you need an access token. You can generate a fresh token for reading and writing access (this lasts for 1 hour) with:

$Authentication=Get-ODAuthentication -ClientID “00000000……..”

$AuthToken=$Authentication.access_token

Get-ODAuthentication opens a browser window to authenticate yourself with your live id and to accept access through this module.

You can get your own client id on https://apps.dev.microsoft.com

Update: Make sure that you generate a client id in the section ‘Converged applications’ for the token-based authentication and select “Allow implicit flow”. Here is a short video: https://youtu.be/oyILyPQ066E
