Copying newly added files between Sharepoint folders

(0) ShareShare

Is there a way to create a flow that will only copy a newly added file into a sharepoint folder, to another sharepoint folder?

I am trying to avoid have to copy the entite contents of the folder, everytime a new file is added. Many thanks

    You could refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

    Thank you for your response. Looking at this flow, it appears to require the name of the new file to be known and consistant. When a new file is added to the folder, it includes the date the data was captured e.g BigData13052020.xls and so will be different for every new file added.

    The 'BigData' part of the filename will remain consist, so was hoping to copy each new file over as the new file is added

    Hi @Paul973 ,

     

    No, it needn't know the file name, the flow would be triggered when a file is created in a sharepoint folder.

    Please take a try with the flow and your requirement could be achieved.
