How to download newest file from SharePoint using PowerShell

问题

I'm just curious, do I have any possibility to download the file from SharePoint document library?

The problem is that I have like 3-4 files in this library and I need to get the file with the latest modification date.

Thank you in advance.

Refer to the link below, but instead of using the actual SharePoint URL for the directory use the File Explorer address for the SharePoint site.

Powershell Script:

$dir = "\\sharepoint.domain.com\site\Foo\SubFoo\SharedDocuments\Folder\"
$latest = Get-ChildItem -Path $dir | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
$latest.name

To get the explorer location, right click on a file link in SharePoint, (Firefox 'Copy link location', IE 'Properties').

Copy the URL: http://sharepoint.domain.com/site/Foo/SubFoo/SharedDocuments/Folder/

Change it this format: \\sharepoint.domain.com\site\Foo\SubFoo\SharedDocuments\Folder\

Verify the link works: Click 'Start' --> 'Run' --> paste the changed link and run it. It should open the SharePoint folder.

The PowerShell code came from this site.
