Move files from Onedrive to Google drive

Posted on by 2
Hi guys
I am trying to create a flow that moves automatically all files and folders within an appointed folder in Onedrive to another one in Google drive. Maybe we can see that folder as a portal.
Since there is no existing template allowing me to do such thing like that, I have to create my own one. However, things are getting more complicated than I thought because we do not have "Move files" action in flow. Consequently, I have to replace the move action with copying and deleting.
The idea is to copy files and folders inside a folder in Onedrive to another folder in Google drive. After that, it should check if there is any file that has the same name and type with it in the appointed folder in Onedrive. If yes, the file in Onedrive must be delete (after being copied to Google drive). If no, check to copy another new file in Onedrive to Google drive then delete the original file. Those actions should run in a loop until the appointed folder in Onedrive is blank which means all files and folders was moved to Google drive.
I have trouble so my flow stop automatically whenever I copy files to that folder. The flow stops at second file after it copied the first file to Google drive.
Please let me know if you have any good solution for this difficult idea.
Thank you so much.

    Hi @Milton92 ,

     

    How is your flow created? Could you share a screenshot?

     

    How about using Recurrence trigger in your flow?

     

    The flow will be triggered on a schedule, once a day, an hour, a minute according to your scenario.

     

    In your scenario, I assume that flow could be triggered once 10 minutes to check if there are any new files in the appointed folder in OneDrive, if there, copy them to the Google drive, if no, do nothing.

     

    Please take a try with it.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
