SharePoint list of documents in document library

Question

I was trying to list out all documents in document library in SharePoint 2013 I have used sharepoint 2013 powershell

$site = Get-spsite  xxxx
$web = $site.Rootweb
$list = $web.Lists["Documents"]
foreach ($item in $list.items) {
   write-host $item.File.Url
}

My problem is

The documents in the site conents show that the documents library has 123 items, but when I run my script I am only getting 90 items. I have site collection admin privilages on the site. Any ideas on what could be going on?

Answer 1

According to Microsoft, "The Items property returns all the files in a document library, including files in subfolders, but not the folders themselves. In a document library, folders are not considered items."

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.splist.items.aspx

Is it possible you have 33 folders?

Another possibility is that the discrepancy is for files that have been uploaded but never checked in, such that only the original uploader can actually see the file. You (and your script) may not yet have access to them.

Answer 2

Can you see the rest of documents will you be able to see from the site. The new items which are not checked in won`t visible even you are site collection admin. I had this issue and spent hours to know this.

But you can the actual items count.
