Copy a sharepoint folder to Onedrive for Busines

Posted on by beckos

I want to copy a folder with documents from a sharepoint folder to a Onedrive for Business folder after I'm ready with preparing the content of the sharepointfolder. The sharepoint folder can contain multiple documents (no subfolders).

Any ideas on how I can do this? I don't see an action that can copy a folder, but maybe someones sees a creative workaround? And what trigger do you suggest?

Hi beckos,

There is currently no action can be used to copy folder between two connectors.

There is similar request at Flow Ideas Forum, please vote and comment the idea at here:

Hi @beckos,

Thanks for updating.

But I am afraid there is no direct workaround for this issue.

PGs will take popular ideas into consideration first, I will help collect and report it on my side. You could keep an eye on Release notes to get the most updated info on Flow.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,
Mabel Mao

I made a workaround myself, but it is so complex that I can't make it work in the same way for all users.
Someone zips the files form sharepoint andd sends them to the different users, it is routed there via a rule in a seperate folder.
The folder gets checked by Flow, the attachment gets saved in the personal Onedrive, and unzips. The zip-file gets deleted, the initial mail also. The user almost didn't notice the whole flow. Quite a workaround, isn't it? 🙂
But I will wait fot the 'copy a folder'-possibility now.
