Building a flow to compare the size of two files

Posted on by SH-11101528-0

I'm trying to build a flow that will compare the file size of a local file, and one stored on an FTP server, and if they sizes don't match it will re-upload the file.

I can clearly see the .Size property on both the local and remote file in the stored variable, but when trying to create an "if" action, it says the .Size property doesn't exist.

Am I missing something, or does this just not work this way?

Building a flow to compare the size of two files

How are you retrieving the file(s)? Is that by any change with a Get files in folder type of action?

If that is the case you might want to use an index function to get the right row of your file collection (assuming you have enable Power fx on your desktop flow).

Below is an example which uses two local files as an example.

Each file is stored in a variable, for example FileOne

=Index(Files,1)

In the Expression you should be able to refer to the property by using Variable.Size

=FileOne.Size = FileTwo.Size

The whole flow setup looks like the below.
