    Hi,
     
    Steps
     
    1. Create your Flow (manual, triggered whatever)
    2. Use Get File Contents, to grab the contents of the file you want to "copy/rename" somewhere else"
    3. Use Create File, passing in the Contents from Step 2, and giving it whatever name you want
     
    All are SharePoint actions.
     
    Done
