Automated Folder Creation or Copying a Folder to Multiple Folders on SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by mdomke 2

Hi all,

 

I got a really off the wall request from one of our agencies and I'm hoping there's an automated or easier solution then just copying and pasting to every folder. The agency has about 500 Client folders in a SharePoint Document Library. They are asking to have a folder with subfolders inside of it created in each of those 500 folders. Can Power Automate help with this and if so, how? Or is there another way to get this done?

 

Thanks in advance,

    Hi @mdomke 

     

    I think it is possible.

     

    Could you share some information on folders and subfolders creation ?

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    The Folder they have created is called "2024". Inside of that is a folder structure with about 10 folders. Some of those also have folders and like a document or two in them. Basically, they're trying to keep from having to do this to every folder. They just want to copy that folder and everything in it into every folder in the Library.
