I am trying to save the output file of the Start-Transcript in the cloud and exactly in shared documents. As -path string cannot be different than local on your drive I tried to define the ShareFile location(I do not want to map any drive):

Folder1 = "Shared Documents"
$SharedFolder = Get-PNPFolder -URL $Folder1

Then I tried to use it as output for a path:

Start-Transcript -path $SharedFolder 

Which of course it fails. Every time it is adding in the location where the .ps1 file is a folder path like this: ps1 is in C:\aaa\ so it is adding a location like this c:\aaa\sharedfolder\transcriptfile.txt

Of course, I could use copy after and use method PNP-AddFile but there is one trick when the file is in use it doesn't want to copy it to the location which I tried to sort. I used this to copy after the Stop-Transcription

Add-PnPFile -Path ".\transcriptfile.txt" -Folder $Folder1

This command working when the script end and I run it separately after.

Maybe someone can help me differently than this?

Thank you

So the only workaround I found is to add a Function to the .ps1 file.

I added Function with

Add-PnPFile

Which looks like this:

Function CopyFile {
Add-PnPFile -path ".\filename.txt" -folder "Shared Documents"
}

I added it before the script Exits. Don't know why standalone code won't work before.
