Hello,

I currently work on a project where I need to upload all my pdf from local folder and start iteration. When I check couldn't find option values on Power Automate cloud. I'm thinking my flow to be following:

1. Access local folder,

2. start iterating each files in the folder

3. take on file start iterating,

stuck in these actions, can't find options to access file location access, any help?

thanks in advance,

@VJR @VJN @vjh

I'm afraid that no. You might not be able to access local files with Cloud Flows, BUT, I'm shure that PAD can resolve this in a easier way.

Maybe, you could use the Sharepoint interactions on PAD to upload the files, and then use the cloud flows to iter by them.

Hi @AK88

I need to upload all my pdf from local folder and start iteration

Where do you need to upload these files?

Iterate the files and do what?

Since you mentioned Cloud Flows to access local files have you taken a look at the File System connector?

Hi @VJR ,

I've used File System connector, but I want to get each file content, but not able to get it using File System actions. Is there any other way of operations I'm missing out.

thanks in advance,

Just to get an idea you can look up for some videos.

Also currently you are in Desktop Flows forum.

Since you are looking for Cloud Flows, you will get more help in the dedicated Cloud Flows forum here.
