How to use Teams/SharePoint as a logs location for support and send logs from device

In this post I will show you how to use Teams/Sharepoint as a location to gather logs, send logs from devices using PowerShell.

Context

- You want to send logs from a device somewhere

- You want a location easily available

- You want to make it available only for a specific team

- You want to use PowerShell to send logs without any user action

The solution

The solution can be achived in few steps:

1. Create a new Team/Sharepoint

2. Give access to it

3. Create a SharePoint app

4. Give this app write access on the SharePoint

5. Use PowerShell to send logs

I will soon share a systray tool allowing user to directly create a ZIP containing file, event logs... and send it to the SharePoint in one click.
