Hello guys,I'm new to Power Automate and would like your help.I would like to create a flow that would copy files from a network folder to a folder on sharepoint.How could I create this automation?
Hi there,
There is a Power Automate template for this.

(I'm not sure if that link will work for you ... if it doesn't, go to your Power Automate portal, click on Templates, and search for "Copy new files from your PC to SharePoint". If you type in "file system" it will bring back a bunch of options for you as well.Note that in order to use this, you need to use an On Premises gateway.

The On Prem gateway needs to be installed and set-up. It is also a Premium feature.

Now, if all of that isn't do-able, you could also use Power Automate Desktop instead, attended only - but then you're getting into building robotic process automation.
Simply you can use tools like Gs Richcopy360 or CloudFuze to copy directly from network folder to SharePoint , take a look at both
