However, if you want to use SPO module only, try using this:

Hi ganeshsanap - thank you for the reply!
I wasn't having luck authenticating to the SPO Module with your first command, but did finally get authenticated with one of the last commands in my screenshot. However, I am getting a syntax error for your second command. Any suggestions?

- Ah, thank you. So I tried the SPO way and the command completed successfully; however, the "Add Shortcut to OneDrive" option did not appear on a site I know it should. Is there a delay?
I tried the PnP way, but still having trouble getting authenticated correctly.Wait for sometime and try refreshing the document library page or try opening the document library in private browser window and see if it works.

- Awesome! It just took some time. I now see the "Add Shortcut to OneDrive" option in our libraries. Thank you so much.
