Step 1:  Click here to download: CreateDocumentLibrary.ps1

Run Create DocumentLibrary.ps1file with PowerShell.

Step 2: Input your chosen parameters as pictured below and click Enter.

Step 3: The PowerShell script will show the results while creating the lists.

Step 4: Go to your site to see the final results.

Thank you Chau for a handy tip. There is also the “Open with Explorer” option available from the Library Ribbon if you have the Office desktop version installed on the computer. The library will show up as a folder in Windows Explorer. It is very easy to drag and drop files to the library. This is a good option for someone who is uncomfortable with Power Shell.
