Flow file transfers from Sharepoint to on-prem servers

Hi,
I need help with a Flow file transfers from Sharepoint to on-prem servers.

The Flow I created is to copy files from Sharepoint to on-prem servers via a gateway setup.

The Flow works fine if the files are new, an existing file being renamed but fails if the files are updated with new contents and new date stamps.

These are the rules I am trying to create:

IF a NEW FILE is added on Sharepoint OR IF FILE is rename on Sharepoint OR IF FILE PROPERTIES are updated on Sharepoint

THEN COPY FILE to on-prem

ELSE

END

The part that is failing is when the file property(date, size & time) is updated but not renamed. The trigger does not process files with new date stamps or file sizes.

Dear MrJ,

There is possibly a better way to do this, but you could either check beforehand if a has the same filename, but different " date, size & time" or fails the update .... and then either rename the old file first and save the new file or vice versa.

Hope this makes sense,
Happy flowing.

Hi MrJ,

There are mutliple trigger types based on what type of action is occurring.
The one you are currently using is only for when a file is created (not modified, etc.).
I would probably recommend creating several Flows based on the different event triggers.
You could try the trigger "When Item or a file is modified" and then do a update step on the existing file.
You can try the trigger "When a file is deleted" and "Delete file" step on the existing file.
Make sure to test each one to ensure they are behaving as expected.
