How to get files>5000 in share point - sharepoint

Question

I have a sharepoint location where the total number of files are more than 5000. In this case I am not able to view them in file explorer. Is there any other option to retrieve the files available in sharepoint programatically and not using sharepoint website

Answer 1

You can index the column and use below code :
$list = $ctx.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($DocLibName)
$ctx.Load($list)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
## View XML
$qCommand = #"
<View Scope="RecursiveAll">
<Query>
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='TRUE'/></OrderBy>
</Query>
<RowLimit Paged="TRUE">5000</RowLimit>
</View>
"#
## Page Position
$position = $null
## All Items
$allItems = #()
Do{
$camlQuery = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CamlQuery
$camlQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition = $position
$camlQuery.ViewXml = $qCommand
## Executing the query
$currentCollection = $list.GetItems($camlQuery)
$ctx.Load($currentCollection)
$ctx.ExecuteQuery()
## Getting the position of the previous page
$position = $currentCollection.ListItemCollectionPosition
# Adding current collection to the allItems collection
$allItems += $currentCollection
}
# the position of the last page will be Null
Until($position -eq $null)
This code is resembling the pagination behaviour.
$position will the previous page index.
Hope this helps.

You could refer to the code in this post:
https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/128373/large-list-issue-with-csom
Note: you have to use indexed column in the camel query.
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("weburl");
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("ListTitle");
ListItemCollectionPosition position = null;
do
{
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition = position;
camlQuery.ViewXml = #"<View>
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name='Title'/>
</ViewFields>
<RowLimit>5000</RowLimit>
</View>";
ListItemCollection listItems = list.GetItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.Load(listItems);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
position = listItems.ListItemCollectionPosition;
foreach (ListItem listItem in listItems)
Console.WriteLine("Title: {0}", listItem["Title"]);
}
while(position != null)
