Copy Sharepoint folder to local drive

Hi,

 

I'm new to power automate and have been searching on Microsoft forums and googling a flow to copy all contents of a sharepoint site to a local drive and cannot find an easy straight forward answer.

Right now i have this flow and was trying to copy suggestions from other posts but cant seem to get it right. One problem i have is that when i go to insert a dynamic expression, the list comes back in portuguese, so i cant find the equivalent to "file content" in portuguese because it should be "contéudo do ficheiro" but it's not an option so i have the equivalent to "file path" right now.

 

So im asking for help to figure out the following:

  1. What action do i choose to select all folders, and its files from the sharepoint documents site;
  2. What action do i choose to copy those same folders, including the files, to paste in a local folder in my hard drive (On-premises gateway is installed with correct environment selected);
  3. How do i change the language displayed on the dynamic expressions to english. It seems that some actions have expressions in english, others don't. (Already set the display language to english in All Settings);

Additionally, running the above flow gives me the following error:

The slash is inverted after the path i defined on the action. Shouldn't it be C:\PA\Avisos BNA instead of /Avisos BNA??

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and has the time to respond, but if you do respond, treat me like a newcomer that needs prints every step of the way please 😅.
