Scripting Secrets with PowerShell and OneTimeSecret.com

In my day job, I often have to send out links to customers. These links have to be obscured as much as possible and it was getting painful manually sending each link using this service, so I decided to find a was of scripting secrets with PowerShell.

Rather than sending the link directly from SharePoint or OneDrive, I need to use a service called OneTimeSecret.com.

So today, I wanted to show you the script I made to make this process as simple as running a PowerShell script.

Introduction

I’ve mentioned that the links need to be obscured, but to prove it this is the workflow:

• Upload password protected ZIP file to OneDrive
• Create a OneDrive share with link a password
• Create a OneTimeSecret.com secret with the OneDrive share link and password
• This OneTimeSecret.com link also requires a link password

You might call this overkill, but the idea is that people wouldn’t continuously have access to the OneDrive link to download whenever they wanted.
