How can I create a New-PSDrive to an instance of Office 365 over WebDAV?

I know I can do it by using the map network drive in the Windows Shell (then specyfing connect to Web site).

Just passing -Credentials into New-PsDrive does not work, I believe because Office 365 requires passing SAML tokens.

Please help.

Thx,

WebDAV  is not an available provider in PowerShell.  You need NTFS (FileSystem) or other providers that can be custom installed.

Thank you, OK -- I will ask the question differently:

Is there a way to connect an instance of SharePoint to New-PSDrive ?

No.  There is not yet a provider for O365.  You can use WebDAV from Explorer and the drive will show up in PowerShell.

You can do it by adding a third party provider:

PS > InstallUtil Nivot.PowerShell.SharePoint.dll
...
PS > Add-PSSnapin Nivot.PowerShell.SharePoint
PS > New-PSDrive wss SharePoint http://localserver[:port]/[site/name]
PS > cd wss:
PS wss:\>

With Windows 8 and WIndows 7 SP1 with patches we can map a drive using PowerShell v3 or later.

$unc= '\\<yourdomain>.sharepoint.com@SSL\Shared Documents'
New-PsDrive -Name S -PSProvider FileSystem -Root $unc

To authenticate just connect any folder in Sarepoint using "Open with Explorer" on the SharePoint Library menu.

There is a comprehensive example of drive mapping to Office 365 with Powershell including the automation of Internet Explorer to perform the authentication here office365drivemap.codeplex.com
