Rename Ondrive File using Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jpc1743 10

I am trying to create a Flow that will automatically rename a file when it is uploaded to my onedrive with the folder name+date+time.

I cant seem to find a thread that is doing this, any advice would help.

Thanks!

    I want to do something similar, but I want the file name to contain the prior date, not the current one - can this be done?

    The flow worked perfectly! 

    The only issue I am having now is that it puts the date in but not the time.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you so much for the response!

    How would you go about adding the date and time to the new file name?

    see you have 2 options, create a new file with a new name or rename a file.
