How to get files in nested folders in a SPO Library?

[veronicageek]

I'm trying to loop through multiple documents libraries, which may each contain files & folders (at the root), but also nested folders with files inside, to get only the files.

While I can get to the files on the first folder (i.e.: /docLib/Folder1/TestDoc.docx), I can't seem to find a way to get to a nested file inside a few folders (i.e.: /docLib/Folder1/Folder2/TestDoc.docx).

Is there no -Recursive parameter or something that would list all the files in a library regardless of inside a folder or not?

You should be able to do this using the spo file list command by specifying the server- or site-relative folder URL in the --folder option, eg.

m365 spo file list --webUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/project-x --folder 'Shared Documents/Folder1/Folder2'

If that's not working as intended, then it's a bug we should fix.

Right now we don't have a way to retrieve all files from all folders in a doclib, but I can imagine that it would be a useful enhancement of the spo file list command. We could expose it behind a --all option that would retrieve all files from all folders in a single command execution. If that's what you mean, would you mind creating an issue for it?

Indeed, I'm using m365 spo file list --webUrl $SiteUrl --folder $folder.ServerRelativeUrl to get the files inside a folder (working fine), but cannot get any nested files after that.

Thanks @waldekmastykarz, I've opened issue #2376.

Thank you for the spec! Could you please also open a bug with the repro step for spo file list not working with nested folders? Then we'll get on it and get it fixed asap. Thank you!
