Python Upload Files To SharePoint Using Office365 Rest Package Part 2

I have made a previous video on uploading files to SharePoint using the SharePlum package, but in this video we will be using the Office365 Rest Client package.

In this video we will add on to the office365_api file, by adding a function for uploading files.

I will be showing examples on how to upload files from local directory to SharePoint.

I will be added on to source code which can be find on my GitHub account (view below).

Hey, It would be great if you make video about how to set the metadata in columns along with file upload.

hi Lu,
I tried to follow your tutorial here and ran into this error with this line of code. Been trying to search the error but nothing useful comes up.

target_folder =


error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'web'

Hi Lu, Greetings. I'm getting below error "Access has been blocked by Conditional Access policies. The access policy does not allow token issuance"

[TL-ydbt]

Is there a way to upload data to a column field with files or do you have to loop through the files and update the column after the upload? I need to link a (known) unique ID with all attachment.

Thanks for this great video! I have one question, sometimes when I am uploading the files with python, and the other users keep the file with the same name open, then I cannot upload the file. Do you know any methods which can upload the file with the same name while other users are using the file? Because some colleagues are not from the same country, if they are on vacation, it is hard to tell them to close the file. I am updating the file locally with python script, so I need to download it, update it, and upload it to sharepoint all with python.

Hi Lu, great video. I have one question. When I try to upload large file I get the error "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException', 'The request message is too big. The server does not allow messages larger than 262144000 bytes.', "400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: " . Is there a way to upload larger files? Thanks

[rickmedlin]

Lu, does the Office365 API let you export to MS Word documents?

[Juanpfrancos]
