downloading a file from SharePoint Online with PowerShell

Question

I have a requirement to download files from a sharepoint online document library using powershell

I\'ve managed to get to the point where the download should happen

Answer 1

The direct and almost shortest answer to the question is simply:

$url = 'https://the.server/path/to/the/file.txt'
$outfile = "$env:userprofile\file.txt"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $outfile -Credential (Get-Credential)

This works at least in Powershell 5.1...
